Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson has been suspended six games for high-sticking Toronto Maple Leafs forward Noah Gregor, the department of player safety announced Friday.
Oh I’ll definitely recognize his skill, no doubt about that. As for his leadership, I don’t follow the Caps so I’ll have to take your word for it.
Also, I’m not trying to say you’re wrong for loving him. I’ll admit to something similar as a Bruins fan with Marchand. I haven’t followed hockey in general as much in the past few years so I can’t speak to how he’s handling captaincy, but I always loved him even when he was just the King Rat. I thought that even though he went too far sometimes, he was a player that only got more skilled with age, never failed to hustle, and was really good at his main goal of ticking people off. So I completely understand the dichotomy of loving a player who often rides the line and sometimes crosses it.
