Exactly. He just needs more strength which will continue to come. He eats a lot of visor shots because he can’t completely lock the other guy out yet. When he can, the outcomes will be a lot different

Tom Wilson getting a fight in under his belt yesterday so he wont be pressured into fighting Rempe tomorrow. Chess not checkers from Tommy Boy.

This is a bad hockey team.
Rempe is much more dangerous hitting than he is fighting.

Wilson is a much better player. It's to our benefit if he wastes his time focusing on Rempe.

Fighting in back to back games isn't in the 'unwritten' rule book on fighting code. It's more like you can fight once a game unless you fight the same guy more than once. There are always exit ramps to the code--like someone going after your best player or a dirty hit. Wilson got attacked by Brendan Smith the game after he injured Panarin. A double sin both a dirty play which led to injury and going after a top player. The Caps didn't play Wilson the rest of the night after his fight with Brendan because it was clear that the Rangers were going to go after him again and again. The thing with the code also is it's always evolving. Things that happened 10, 20, 30 years ago and were okay then are not okay now. But there are also a lot less real fighters today and a lot less fighting.
In the playoffs Wilson wanted to fight Rempe. Matthew turned him down. Earlier this year Rempe fought the Caps Dylan McIlrath. Likely there won't be a fight but it won't be because one player is afraid of the other.
