Tom Wilson: 'Sometimes I should keep my mouth shut'

But Wilson admitted it today: sometimes, he lets his emotions get the better of him.

He told the media at the Bell Centre who needs to learn to keep their mouths shut sometimes… and he came back to the situation from the last game, saying he wasn’t aiming for the whole Habs team when he played the baby.

Wilson specified that his gesture was aimed at a particular Habs player, and he didn’t want to name him… but we know he’s talking about Slaf:

I love his humility.

Tom Wilson knows he may have lit a fire under the Habs by doing this, and he also knows he has to live with the consequences. But at least he’s aware of the fact that he’s done it… and it’ll be interesting to see if the CH will be able to make him pay.

I’d love to see Slaf freeze him out in the corner tonight!

The Caps forward had better strap on his skates, because he’s going to get his ass kicked between now and the end of the series.

Arber Xhekaj even started practicing his moves this morning at practice…

:

In all of this, I also wonder what the other Capitals players are thinking.

Do they think Wilson did too much? Do they think Wilson handled the situation well and did what he had to do?

Because if there are guys in the room who aren’t happy, it can affect the team’s results on the ice. And if that’s the case… maybe it can help the CH beat the Capitals in the first round.
