The Washington Capitals had no players selected for the NHL's 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, with many, including hockey analysts, believing Tom Wilson's omission was a glaring mistake. Following Canada's loss to the U.S.—a game noted for its physicality—Wilson expressed disappointment for not being chosen. He emphasized the significance of the rivalry, highlighting his desire to compete. Comparatively, Wilson's fighting experience and size were seen as critical assets that could have affected the outcomes against opponents like the Tkachuk brothers, who are known fighters themselves.
I mean, I loved it. I think it was one of the best hockey games to watch in a long time. It was two countries that don't like each other.
He should have been chosen for the 4 Nations Face-Off due to his impressive offensive numbers this season and unmatched physicality.
