Last night's game four between the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals was intense, with the Rangers clinching a series sweep. However, before the game's conclusion, Capitals Tom Wilson stirred up controversy by targeting Rangers defenseman Adam Fox.

Wilson's actions are nothing new, but this incident stands out as particularly bizarre. Attacking Fox seemingly out of nowhere is unusual even for Wilson, as highlighted in this clip.

The altercation occurred as the Rangers were celebrating a goal, with Fox heading towards his teammates. One has to wonder when the Capitals will grow weary of Wilson's behavior. While it's part of his role, targeting players without provocation shouldn't align with the Capitals' values.

During the television broadcast, an analyst didn't hold back on criticizing Wilson. Can we really blame them? While Wilson has been a longstanding member of the Capitals, his actions raise concerns about his reliability. As he ages, his ability to contribute may decline, making incidents like these more frequent.
