This game between the Washington Capitals and the Carolina Hurricanes got absolutely out of control! The final period was complete chaos and Jalen Chatfield going at it with Connor McMichael was the exclamation point! However, what Chatfield did with his takedown of McMichael without a helmet on was completely uncalled for and deserves a suspension from the NHL. Aside from Alex Ovechkin scoring yet again to get to within just 3 goals of passing Wayne Gretzky, this game was a terrible one for the Capitals as the Hurricanes poured it on and we could see frustration boiling over from Tom Wilson and the Capitals in the second half of the game resulting in several game misconducts from both teams as the benches looked awfully empty by the end of it. Undoubtably great fuel for this rivalry heading into the playoffs, but we will no doubt see this build even more in the their next meeting 8 days from now. I cover it all in todays NHL video!

Capitals deserve that Tom Wilson is a baby and cries when someone does EXACTLY what he does on the daily basis
That was nearly the end of 2 careers. Todd bertuzzi or mcsorley level stupid. Niether of those put in the same effort to try and kill a guy. My view its bare minimum rest of the season. We need to stop making it about the actual injurywhen the intent is to hospitalize someone. If a player runs around with skate in his hand trying to cut other players he should be suspended for life even if he doesn't actually get someone. This one is so malicious he may as well of tried to kick him in the neck.
Didn't like the Chatfield play and I'm guessing he gets a fine since he doesn't have any priors that I'm aware of.
If there was intent in the Aho slash while absorbing the Wilson hit then there was also intent in Wilson swinging his stick wildly at Aho immediately after.
This is real hockey. True passion. NHL needs more of this. Of course, todays Americanized effeminate NHL won’t allow it.
That’s dangerous. Fight don’t try to slam a guys head on the ice.
Beautiful wrangle. Stay in your lane, McLovin 😂
Hockey isn't judo. Guys are supposed to stand there and trade blows. If you KO your opponent, you're supposed to hold onto his jersey and not let him drop and hit his head on the ice. That's a lot of suppositions to make. Somebody will be killed one day from a fight. Let's not make it easier.
i didnt watch the game but im hearing that washington was doin the same shit to them leading up to it so imo, give him a suspension for the exact amount of games they play in between playin the caps again, then let them deal with it on the ice🤷♂️
Canada will be banning your channel for racism.
Great piece. I watched the highlights, but missed the fracas at the end. It’s a little ‘off’ to say, “Okay, fight… but don’t hurt each other.”. Stuff happens in a fight… but without a brain bucket, that takedown could’ve ended with a stretcher.
You know what else is reckless and deserves a suspension? Full force Tomahawk style slashing the Caps did ALL game.
Let them play. The Caps got absolutely bitch slapped and looked more like my Sharks last night.✌️🇺🇲
That was a judo throw, no place for that, and what's going on with
"fighting" with your gloves on? This is hockey, play another sport if you want to pretend fight. Fighting with mits on should add another 2 mins on the penalty for trying to turn the league into a fruity game.
Going to love the Caps self destruction when the post season begins. Ovi is finally about to surpass a player who never tried to score goals as much as he loved getting assist. There is only one great one and he never played in Washington.
Wilson is the biggest ASSHOLE in Hockey!
Oh look, the Caps got OWNED and had to resort to gooning which is what Wilson really excels at. Get wrecked.
All the clowns defending this are the same clowns who threw an absolute fit and called for a suspension when someone shot the puck with time left on the clock a few days ago.
Don’t want the smoke? Don’t drop the gloves! Don’t want cheap moves? Play a clean game. Incredible amount of whining for what should be a very exciting countdown to playoffs.
Dumb video dumb commenter
That was a dirty play can't be doing that…
Bad take… If you can't pay the fine – don't do the crime (Don't fight)
Bruh this is defienetly not a suspension, it is litterly just a fight, and the dude just pulled a sick move. Cap fans should just chill.
Tom Wilson is a thug, 6'4, 230 pounds, Stankoven is 5'8, 165.
Canes need to call up the jims
If it was Ovechkin he had head slammed people would be calling for him to be thrown out the league. Just remember that. No place for injuring someone in hockey. Remember the guy that stuck his skate out last year and killed a guy……… yeah. Emotions getting the best of you lead to people getting seriously hurt.
Just a good old hockey game😂
as a European, this is just unprofessional. i have no words for such a selfish way of playing. this isn't love for the game, this isn't what people are paying for.
Disgusting, the NHL doesn't need trash like Jalen Chatfield.
Note to self…
"Don't bite off more than you can chew".
The Craps fucked around and found out. CAT 5 Hurricane in Raleigh last night!! LFG!
Helmets are supposed to be worn strapped securely. You want to look cool or be safe ?
So he throws him down. 🤷 You drop them, you drop them. Anything happens. I've done it. Let the players decide next game.
The Caps fans crying is sad. Wilson is a dirty fucking player. He needs suspension if Chatfield gets anything. The Caps once they were getting shit on just decided to play dirty the rest of the game and try and cause as many injuries and start asany fights as possible. Wilson trying to cross check from behind everyone he can. Starts a fight with guys half his size like a coward.
McMichael literally slashing Chatfield over and over until he finally does something about it. Gets thrown like a rag doll and everyone cries. Hurricanes are the least dirty team known to man and literally avoid fights because of their size. We literally have no one that fights
Nah. Bad take.
SUSPENSION
yeah im pretty sure there no rule against takedowns during fights,, and if youve been watching this kina thing happens somewhat frequently…problem is all hockey fans and hockey players are too dumb to realize hockey fights are stupid as hell….my evidence = YOUR DUMBASS MADE THIS VIDEO AND EXPECTED VIEWS
That could have been manslaughter
Tai-otoshi
Tom Wilson nominated for humanitarian of the year…what a POS.
it's give nothing to fight
Love old time hockey, tbat wrestling move was bush league as fuck
our goalie was injured- we played last night- and the canes hadn’t played in three days.. the refs were so biased as hell. I was there it was atrocious. i hope he does get a beatdown for what he did to mcmichel. GO CAPS!
USA vs Canada 3.0
I love it
Wilson finally back to what he is best in. Being a complete jerk
Thoroughly dislike the Caps – and their great ape
First time I’ve ever seen a coward use a slew foot mid fight. Talk about a coward… if you’re afraid of getting punched…don’t fight. Suspension incoming for that rat attack
