Tom Wilson scored in overtime to win Game One, but that was shit compared to Game Four.
Watch this.
Whip with the best shift… ever? #RockTheRed @csnma pic.twitter.com/Qh0v53Y256

First period. Caps have the lead but the Leafs are pressing. The shot’s on goal, but Holtby traps it… or does he?
The puck dribbles behind him. Only Tom Wilson sees it. Wilson dives into the crease, pushing the puck out in the nick of time.
The same shift, Lars Eller and Wilson harass the net. Eller takes a shot from wide. Wilson gives it just enough of a nudge to find the back of the net.
He ain’t done yet.

Two and a half minutes later, Tom Wilson and former roomate Andre Burakovsky rush into the offensive zone. Andre passes to Tom, and Tom sinks it.
Wilson is now tied with Alex Ovechkin for the team lead in goals.
A four-goal first period, two off Tom’s stick and one more saved by the same. That’s the stuff of playoff legend right freaking there.
