The book on the Penguins has always been to get inside their head with physicality. Enter Capitals forward Tom Wilson who may be just the person to disrupt the Pens. Whether what he does is legal on the ice is a completely different story.
Here is Wilson making fun of the Penguins for “turtling” when hits were coming their way.
He also got into a wrestling match with Evgeni Malkin – a player the Capitals surely want off the ice.
Finally, Wilson ended his night of debauchery with a pretty egregious knee-to-knee hit with Conor Sheary.
Ouch. There was no penalty on this play and many around the league are calling for a suspension. Not sure how much a suspension would help the Penguins. What they really could have used was a major penalty to spark some scoring. Unfortunately for the Penguins, they fell 4-3 in overtime.
