Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson is a big, mean player who can make an impression in little time. He showed that more than once during the second period of Game 4 against the New York Islanders.
Wilson received two different minor penalties for hits. First, he was whistled for kneeing Josh Bailey. That was noteworthy enough, but his gigantic hit on Lubomir Visnovsky waffled the injury-prone defenseman and earned a charging infraction.
Observe his reign of destruction in the video below:
At 21 on a team that could very well remain a playoff fixture, Wilson might make a lot of enemies in his NHL career.
If you prefer GIFs, here is the huge check on Visnovsky in that format:
