Capitals' Wilson may have changed Babcock's tune with OT winner

Tom Wilson has offered the perfect rebuttal to Mike Babcock's scouting report.

The gritty Washington Capitals forward scored the overtime goal to give his team a Game 1 win, belying the Toronto Maple Leafs head coach's assessment of him heading into the series.

"Nothing against (Wilson) because he works hard and all that, but he's not as big of concern as lot of people on their team," Babcock said Tuesday, according to Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post.

In fairness, Wilson is far down on the list of Washington's expected offensive heroes, but the game-winner - his first career playoff goal - came on a pretty nice shot.

To his credit, Wilson - known more for his physical play than offensive prowess - admitted Babcock may have had a point.

What's of more concern to the Maple Leafs coach: his team blowing a two-goal lead in Game 1, missing an opportunity to steal a huge road playoff win.
