[You Play to Win the Game]

Matching up how Wilson speaks with how he plays is pretty crazy. You expect a Fulton Reed type demeanor and vocabulary, but it's more like Adam Banks.

Told you Nick's was a broken finger. They love to use "upper body injuries" but I know from playing baseball how disruptive something small like even a broken knuckle can have on your grip and bat, and it's even worse in hockey. We all remember the infamous "wrist test" Adam Banks had to take in order to play in the championship game against the Hawks.
