"You would have liked to maybe see Boston last night - I don't even care what happens here, you're out of the game, just start creating havoc. This is still hockey here. Just drop the gloves. Start running guys over. Whatever it is. I don't care what it is. That's what you'd want to see, right?"
"You want to get a little reckless, get a little Tom Wilson on your squad or something like that. Boston can get into this if Buffalo sits back and thinks it's just going to be a cakewalk, they're just going to win the series 4-1, and it's going to be easy. They'll be in for a little bit of a surprise."
"The Capitals have benefitted from some Wilson-branded chaos in multiple playoff series, most recently against the Montreal Canadiens last year. In what turned out to be a blowout win for the Canadiens in Game 3 of the two teams' first-round series, Wilson still made sure to take his pound of flesh."
TJ Oshie, a former NHL player and current analyst, shared insights on playoff intensity during a guest appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. He highlighted the Boston Bruins' need for aggression to regain momentum in their series against the Buffalo Sabres, after a significant loss. Oshie suggested that creating havoc and playing recklessly could surprise the Sabres, who might underestimate the Bruins. He referenced the Capitals' success with physical play, particularly mentioning Tom Wilson's impactful style in previous playoff series.
