Tom Wilson gets speared in a very, very sensitive area

The Washington Capitals are in some danger. 

They're currently down 1-0 in their first round playoff series against the New York Rangers and things aren't looking much better in Game 2. The Caps are down 4-2 in the game through 40 minutes and are on the defensive against a hard charging Rangers squad.

To be perfectly frank, they just aren't playing with any balls.

And, honestly, it's easy to see why. After all, pugilist Tom Wilson nearly lost his pair thanks to a well placed spear from Rangers forward Will Cuylle.

That'll either fire Wilson up or send him to the infirmary. Stay tuned for what we hope is a closer third frame.
