No, Tom Wilson isn’t the Caps only fighter, but he’s pissed, nonetheless. (Caps Outsider)
There’s a longstanding code in hockey that if you injure a guy, you answer for it. Take the next fight. Get it over with. Move on.
If you think I’m only talking about Matt Rempe injuring Trevor van Riemsdyk on Friday on a check that clearly hit his head, I’m not. I’m talking about countless other hits over the last century of professional hockey where a player was injured, and the player who hurt the guy ended up fighting.
