The first-round series between the Montreal Canadiens and the Washington Capitals is officially over.

There was plenty of intensity, especially between Tom Wilson and Josh Anderson, but last night, we witnessed a beautiful moment.
A great display of what makes hockey, and the Stanley Cup Playoffs so special.
Two players can go from this..
To this..
Nothing but respect between these two players!
It may have seemed like a subtle gesture from Tom Wilson (and Josh Anderson), but it definitely didn't go unnoticed.

A Handshake Between Tom Wilson and Josh Anderson That Didn't Go Unnoticed

The video of their handshake is everywhere on the web today, even journalists in California are sharing it.
It's without a doubt a great image for our sport and for the NHL.
"The handshake at the end of a series is one of the main reasons the NHL playoffs are so special.

Josh Anderson and Tom Wilson of the Capitals shake hands and share a laugh after battling for five games."

- Stu Cowan
After that handshake, Wilson even turned around and gave a small "thumbs up" in the direction of what appeared to be Anderson.
Another subtle move, but one that speaks volumes.
Wilson and the Washington Capitals will now face the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round of the NHL playoffs, as the Hurricanes just eliminated the New Jersey Devils.
