This morning in Montreal and Quebec, it’s clear that no one has yet recovered from yesterday’s victory by the Montreal Canadiens in Game #3 against the Washington Capitals.

Not only did the Habs win, but they gave the Capitals a field hockey lesson in a game that was simply magical and completely insane.

The CH’s speed and talent were on full display, as evidenced by the 40 shots and six goals.

It was a very offensive game for the Tricolore, but what really stands out is the intensity and toughness, and especially the altercation between Josh Anderson and Tom Wilson at the Caps’ BANC.

Seriously, I’ve never seen anything like it, and when my father himself says he’s never seen anything like it, not even in the famous series between the Canadiens and Nordiques back in the day, well, we know we’re in for something historic.

Tom Wilson was already a hated player across the NHL, but now he’s become Quebec’s #1 enemy, especially after he started mocking CH players by bawling.

By the way, we were all wondering who Wilson was specifically mocking, and therefore who he was talking to at CH, and thanks to a new angle on the scrum, we can clearly see that Wilson is verbally attacking Juraj Slafkovsky.

It’s pretty obvious from the footage, as Wilson mocks Slaf and the young Slovak’s interview after game #2.

Remember that after the CH’s loss on Wednesday, Slafkovsky was on the verge of tears in his post-game interview, so that’s what Wilson was mocking.

Wilson had obviously seen Slaf’s video, and he used it to mock the CH number 20, who didn’t hesitate to retort and “trash talk” the Caps forward.

But it would be even better to see Slaf retaliate physically in the game with big checks on Wilson and the other Caps players. He’s clearly got the physicality to do it.

In short, it was a crazy sequence we witnessed after the whistle at the end of the second period.

And what I find very positive in all this for the CH is that they didn’t let it get to them, and came out like a lion and not on their heels in the third period.

Despite Ovechkin’s goal, the Tricolore played a full third period, outshooting the Caps with three goals on 14 shots.

It’s a fine demonstration of character, and it’s also experience that can’t be bought for all the Tricolore’s young players.

The presence of Arber Xhekaj in the line-up has officially helped the Tricolore, as captain Nick Suzuki himself mentioned.


En Rafale

– This is excellent!

– Wow, this is daring!

– Are the goalies better in the East, or do you think there’s more talent in the West?

– Incredible!

– All the better.
