Tom Wilson did pushups for a good cause last night, but former Caps roomie Michael Latta wasn’t impressed with his, uh, vigor.

Latta commented, “Push ups 11 14 and 19 were lazy.”

@tom_wilso Did you shoot this at a Mini Golf course?

Wilson was originally tagged by fellow Cap Karl Alzner. Wilson challenged his teammates Justin Williams and Andre Burakovsky, as well as former Maple Leaf Darcy Tucker.
The 22 Pushups Challenge is an initiative that seeks to raise awareness about the disturbingly high number of veteran suicides in the US. 22 pushups signifies the number of vets (an updated study now says 20) who commit suicide each day. More information on the 22 Pushups Challenge and the Wounded Warrior Project can be found here and here.
