"Wilson got his stick in on Faksa's hands, and a second later, the Czech winger fell over like a sack of potatoes. Play was immediately whistled dead, and as an enraged Wilson began skating to the penalty box, he gave Faksa a piece of his mind. Then Wilson dramatically threw up his arms and went down to one knee - twice, might I add - to illustrate Faksa's dive. Faksa cracked a wry smile as he noticed Wilson's antics."
"Wilson was likely already irritated by an interference penalty he was whistled for 13:43 into the first period. As he battled to get in front of the net for a screen, he hit Miro Heiskanen, but the Finnish forward fell over quite easily. Wilson's dramatic dive is just the latest fantastic taunt he has given the hockey world and social media."
Tom Wilson was penalized twice early in the Capitals–Stars game, including an interference call at 13:43 of the first period. Radek Faksa fell in the offensive zone after Wilson got his stick on Faksa's hands, and play was whistled dead. As Wilson skated to the penalty box he berated Faksa, raised his arms and dropped to one knee twice to mock the fall; Faksa smirked. Wilson has a history of animated taunts, including a sarcastic thumbs up, mimicking a crybaby, and mocking opponents from the penalty box. Teammates note his ability to escalate physically if the game turned differently.
