| 0:00.0 | This week on the Capitol's Talk podcast, we get into the Tom Wilson suspension. |
| 0:08.9 | It's absolutely ridiculous. |
| 0:10.4 | Spoiler alert. |
| 0:11.4 | JJ and I are not happy about it, as most people shouldn't be. |
| 0:14.8 | Plus, we hear from their Lamarro sisters and why Dimitri Orlov is playing better. |
| 0:19.8 | That and more, Capitals Stock podcast starts right now. |
| 0:24.2 | His spectacular history making continues. |
| 0:32.0 | It's not a different barrage. |
| 0:34.1 | It's Lord Stanley, and he is coming to Washington. |
| 0:43.9 | Yeah, JJ, this is going to be our first podcast that we actually got together for since Tom Wilson's suspension. |
| 0:49.8 | He's not appealing, so we know for sure now that it's going to be seven games. |
| 0:56.0 | And this is a conversation we've had before with him about him. It's been three years since he's had a |
| 1:01.0 | suspension. But it's very clear to me that he still has that reputation. And reputation is |
| 1:06.9 | something that you can work as hard as you want to try and shake it, but it's almost impossible |
| 1:12.7 | to shake a reputation like Tom Wilson has had around the NHL. And that's one of the reasons |
| 1:18.2 | why that hit has him out seven games, despite the fact that he is a much better player than he was |
| 1:23.8 | early in his career, a much more complete player. He's not getting into fights on a regular basis. He delivers hard hits, but it's not the same guy that he was before, but it clearly doesn't matter. I mean, the Department of Player Safety basically said that it's because of Tom Wilson. I mean, it was as close as you could come to basically just saying because it's Tom Wilson. Which was mind blowing to me, dude. They pretty much just were like, well, he's got a history. |
| 1:46.9 | And we kind of agree with the cap saying that this could have been a legal play. But it's Tom Wilson, so we're going to make it a suspension. Right. So there's so much to talk about this. I knew he was in trouble when the Department of Player Safety said he had a hearing for boarding rather than |
| 2:00.9 | legal check to the head because by the letter of the law, it wasn't an illegal check to the head. |
| 2:05.9 | There was an angle, camera angle where you saw what Wilson was seeing. |
| 2:10.3 | There was no way he could have possibly known that the head was going to be where it was when |
| 2:14.2 | he skated through Carlo. |
