Confession: I have no hot takes to offer on the hit Tom Wilson laid on Lubomir Visnovsky in Game 4 of the Islanders-Capitals series.
I'm just not seeing red over a hit that was penalized and subsequently un-capitalized upon by the Islanders thanks to a woefully stagnant and ineffective post-season power play. Losing Visnovsky, the Islanders' "Silver Fox" who is an important part of both the offense and the locker room, is a huge blow to their chances of winning two of the next three games.
But these are the playoffs and there must be heroes and villains.
