please, they did not have to do him so dirty with this photo
Well then.
Will he punch?
I hope he punch.
Interesting
Oh we getting a fight tonight boys
Wait why?
Poor Mazur, I bet he was going to be the call up until his injury
Oh!
I’ll be honest, the way Hammer came out and fought early I don’t have a problem with Watter getting a few minutes to muck it up out there
“I only came here to do two things man: kick some ass and drink some beer… an’ it looks like we’re almost out of beer” – Auston Watson probably.
Real talk, his pic looks like he just got done charter fishing on Lake Michigan and is ready for the West Coast Express.
All right, bring the thunder tonight, Austin!
I’m guessing it’s to ride the bench as an extra forward. Wouldn’t mind him playing getting a few minutes though
I hope he is on the ice every shift Corey Perry takes.
Blockbuster
Who needs their ass kicked in California
Unpopular opinion: every team needs an enforcer, although not ones that are complete meatheads. Watson fits the bill.
You know what… fuck yeah
Try some shit and you get the WATTAGE straight to the gonads!
I like it. Ngl. I am always fine with a team having 1 punchy dude on it. Ideally someone that can actually play, too.
Fourth line had a great last game so hopefully they get on a roll but if anybody needs a night off he will fit in there. Hopefully Bergy has earned some runway and Kane comes back giving Appleton back to the bottom 6. Let Dani and MBN develop some chemistry in GR, I’m sure we’ll see at least one of them at some point relatively soon.
Going West, you have to have someone for insurance in case of injury and there’s no sense in calling up a Danielson to sit in the press box, so Watson makes all the sense in the world.
👀 forget l.a. nights….how about some l.a. fights 👀
He looks like Shoresy season 10.
Brought him up specifically to hit
OH so we’re getting physical now … I’m sold on Watty’s hits. His challenge is mouthing off to the officials getting him extra time outs.
I’ve been waiting for this! We need an enforcer 💪🏼
I’d go for a scrap?
I would not want to fight that guy
I’ll be surprised if he plays. Wings can blow a call up option on him. Shine will be the next blown call up option until wings make a long term decision on Danielson
Tough pic. Looks like he just got back from three tours in Nam
Love Watson. Brings a needed toughness and he always seems to have good bench energy.

Oh we’re sweeping this road trip
Here comes the BOOM!
Austin ‘Duke Nukem’ Watson
Hell yeah fuck yeah! Let’s bring the pain, Watty!
He looks like a young Ozzy’s evil twin
