Todd Reirden says Tom Wilson’s sexiness level is still ‘a 9 or a 9.5’ after taking a high stick to the face

If you’ve ever wanted the head coach of your favorite sports team to opine about the sexiness of one of his players, this article is very much for you.

Wednesday against the Boston Bruins, Tom Wilson bled his own blood after being high-sticked in the face by Bruins forward Anders Bjork.

A cut was opened under Wilson’s left cheek and blood flowed all the way down to his jawline. Fans worried that the Capitals’ most handsome player would no longer look like a Greek God anymore.

But Todd Reirden is here to assure all you Wilsonmaniacs that this perfect 10 will be a 10 once again in time.

“I think it’s gone from now not just DC anymore,” Reirden said on the Sports Junkies this morning. “Now that he’s become Top Line Tom… I think it’s women from all over the US and Canada now. He did get a high stick in the face. I don’t know how they didn’t call it. He fought a mountain of a man in Chara. He was all-in last night paying the price in different areas.

“As I joked with him when he had his mustache, I said at the end of November, I’m like ‘Yeah, it must be tough to be down to a 9.5 now, huh, instead of a 10?’” Reirden continued. “This morning he’s probably kicking around a 9 or a 9.5 but I’m confident he’ll be back to his normal 10 self in the next day or so here.”

This is refreshing to hear. Though I’d give Caterpillar Tom a 5 over a 9.5.
