Obviously this is illegal and deserves to be called. But it’s really annoying watching professional tough guys flail around after something like this, then go get in an actual fight and shrug off a dozen punches to the head.

Didn’t look too sneaky to me but I guess the ref didn’t see it. Like they see anything to make the right call anyway…

Fuck tom Wilson

I’m all for physical play, and giving guys like Wilson their just due. But to do it with an elbow like that? Not a fan. I really dislike Tom Wilson, but this isn’t the way.

Hurts, doesn’t it Tom?

Caps fan.
Honestly, he was due, though.
He hit Kuch in the back previously.
This is playground fight stuff.

Kucherov is a dirty player that gets away with a lot. Ended Guhle’s season with a hit from behind with no repercussions.

Injured Kaiden Guhle last week, par for the course

Looks like Wilson getting a taste of his own medicine to me. Never forget the pendulum swings both ways

Suspend him from the playoffs is the only appropriate response.

Tampa is dirty as hell. Their time will come, and the whining from the fan base will be glorious.

I don’t see a problem here.

Sure hope he’s OK…you can really hurt your elbow using it like that.

In this case you reap what you sow.

Kuch is such a loser, secondary assist king, clown player clown team
YellowSubreddit8
Eventually Kucherov will get a career ending injury.

As noted above, Willy had croschecked Kuch just as egariously earlier in the shift. The Caps feed even showed it on replay, allowing their announcers to shut up and move on. Good on stripes letting them play through it

oh no

Reap what you sow, Tom, you dirty motherfucker.

Ehh it’s only Tom Wilson

Couldnt of happened to a more deserving player

Ohh no!! …anyways…..

Couldn’t happen to a better guy than Wilson

Normally I’d be giving Kucherov shit for being a dirty player but I think taking out Tom Wilson just moved him up my Hart ballot.

Tom Wilson deserves this. And every other elbow to the chops that he gets in the future.

“Little elbow”

Not hard enough. Tom Wilson had/has it coming.

I love Wilson & despise Tampa, but that looked like a bit of a dive to me. Kucherov was aware he was coming to him though.

Wait, I’m supposed to feel bad for Tom Wilson???
[Oh no… Anyways](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6pc0u-iqIDw)
Yeah that was SUPER subtle
Wasn’t that sneaky. Looked like a straight up penalty and dirty play with intent.
The John Cooper effect
MVPn’t
Dirty and intentional as shit, but I’m conflicted as it’s against wilson. Seeing him get hurt makes me a little happy.
