In this episode, we dive into the recent controversy surrounding Tom Wilson’s hit on Filip Chytil and the NHL’s decision not to penalize the Washington Capitals’ power forward. We explore the “humanitarian” approach to Wilson’s physical play and its impact on the team’s performance. The discussion then shifts to Justin Sourdif’s potential move to center, analyzing the coach’s “natural centerman” comment and its implications for the Capitals’ lineup. As Alex Ovechkin approaches his 900th NHL goal, we examine the superstar’s slow start and predict when he’ll reach this historic milestone. Will Ovechkin’s goal-scoring prowess reignite the Capitals’ season? Tune in for expert insights on Wilson’s controversial hit, Sortif’s positional shift, and Ovechkin’s pursuit of history in the NHL.

Dan, the national media sets narratives about Tom and it's lazy journalism; it's too easy to just characterize him as a dirty "goon" because that was the early narrative. And the media likes to go back to it because it's quick and they can get their story in at deadline. Or talking heads don't want to think deeper, report deeper, and have a more nuanced approached. Are they talking about Marchand's outburst?
Oh, and I'm liking Sourdif can be that all purpose utility guy. Let's see what he brings, better to find out now than wait until mid season. And then if he's succeeding, what happens to Lappy and Milano?
Relying on Sourdiff down the middle is concerning. PLD needs to be back asap if not CP better get creative does he not know what’s at stake?
Mid november? Yeah right. Long before nov 1. Guarentee it. Definately within three games from now. When season starts I don’t really take stats seriously before game 12 is done with. Leaving 70 left. Of course I pay attention every day, but you don’t have much to work with til the 10-12 game mark. Ovie could have 905 by then.
😂 Dan, I love your headlines. “TOM WILSON IS NOT GUILTY!!!!!” lol… he’s usually guilty for anything and every thing!
❤️#43💙 know I’m here for that!!!
Oh I am out there fighting the good fight on multiple platforms daily – the truth about TOMS EPICNESS and HES NOT A DAM “GOON”
-I’d cry if tom ever STOPPED fighting completely, Not going to lie.
(Wow as I listen, you are saying the SAME things I do!)
Oh SCREW REEVES!!!!! Hate him! And he has noooo hockey skills otherwise!!!( and you said basically the same as I typed that lol)
Anyways, I get so much crap back. Even in fantasy chat for TOM! These people own him as a player and are STILL arguing with me! THE STATS ARE IN YOUR FACE! 😅🤷🏼♀️ he’s ranked #9 for RW on yahoo right now!!
….his reputation isn’t going anywhere, but let’s be real- his rep is also “hate him!!!!! (Would love him on my team)”
lol
Watched slow mo several times – CLEAN hit.
(Screw REMPE too!!) lol
….yes we know I love tom- but if it was dirty I’d say so and be happy he got away with it. (He’s served a lot of earned AND bs mins….ha)
Thanks DAN! (Love the Holtby jersey!)
As a Pred- I am jealous as f on you guys having a guy like Tom. 'Villain' it complete bs. I can relate to 'instigator' or smth along that alley. I still love to think about that game against Rangers where he pretty much took on their entire team
and they avoided him like sissys, pissing off that monkASS Dolan 😛 Those that hate Tom hasnt watched much hockey from the old days and I find it weird that a true power forward shouldnt have smth to bring to this league.
Best of luck with the season, and Tom, continue to give them some proper props
Bennett is objectively worse than Wilson. It’s not even close.
