On the Washington Capitals podcast with Marko:

#1 Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson’s blindside hit on the Vegas Jonathan Marchessault that Wilson didn’t get suspended for. Wilson said he watched Marchessault finish his pass and Wilson said he went to finish his check.

#2 The hit laid him out in Game 1. He went to the locker room for concussion protocol tests at 14:15 in the third period.

#3 Wlson saying that after Marchessault when Marchessault was finished admiring his pass Wilson went to finish his check. Does that sound like there was some premeditated intent there?

#4 Marchessault said that he was confident that the league would take care of Wilson for the late hit, but Marchessault was not suspended.

#5 So with all that under consideration, what happens tonight? Will there be a rumble? Will the Caps create a physical environment and try to take Vegas out of their speed skating?
