UNIONDALE, N.Y. - The Islanders issued a wakeup call to Tom Wilson and the Washington Capitals Wednesday. It read: You’d better keep your heads up.
With Lubomir Visnovsky still questionable as of Wednesday afternoon for Thursday’s pivotal Game 5 in Washington after being steamrolled by Wilson, the Isles certainly aren’t happy with the perceived shenanigans.
“He’s an idiot,” Kyle Okposo said of Wilson. “That guy runs around, he hits reckless. He jumps, leaves his feet. There’s no place for that.”
Wilson will not receive any supplementary discipline from the league, but that won’t change the opposing team’s impression of him.
