Capitals Must Help Tom Wilson Get Rid Of Bad Reputation

Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson has been quite the polarizing player during his NHL career. His hard hits, his childish chirping, and his fights have quickly made the third-year forward one of the most hated players in the NHL. Wilson plays with a lot of intensity. He is a huge guy (6’4″ tall and at least 220 pounds). When he hits someone, it’s going to hurt quite a bit. Wilson’s reputation led to a boiling point in last night’s 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators.
