On Friday, the NHL announced that they were idiotically fining Tom Wilson $2,000 for diving. That’s probably okay with Wilson though because today he left Kettler Capitals Iceplex with about $2,000 worth of baked goods.

It was a decent trade-off.

Willy Baby, who’s so nice to fans that it’s almost insufferable, is celebrating his 21st birthday this weekend. As he was walking out of Kettler to go home with his visiting family, Wilson began receiving a wealth of carb-loaded desserts, punctuated by a personalized birthday cake from Caps fans Maggie D’Arcy and Emily Kennedy.

“We figured Latta isn’t a great baker,” Maggie said in an email, referring to Wilson’s culinary-challenged roommate Michael Latta. “Tom was really appreciative and it was awesome meeting him.”

Emily tells us that the Woodmoor Bakery in Silver Spring baked the vanilla with chocolate icing birthday cake. And since it is her 18th birthday Saturday, her parents let her skip school to personally deliver it at Kettler with Maggie.

Though they were never really sure he’d actually take it.

“Honestly, we were nervous,” Emily said. “We thought he’d be like, ‘Um, should I really accept this cake from these random girls?'”

But Tom did. He also took some cookies and cupcakes too.

“We just love how aggressively he plays and always has his teammate’s backs,” Maggie said. “Sure, we didn’t make the cake, but it’s the thought that counts, right?”
