Montreal Canadiens fans are already very familiar with the name Tom Wilson. The rugged Washington Capitals forward has certainly made his presence felt in this first-round series, particularly with Josh Anderson-and unfortunately-with Alexandre Carrier.
He even knocked Carrier out of Sunday night's game.
Clearly, Habs fans don't have much love for Wilson.
However, there was an interesting exchange during a recent media scrum with Wilson.
Tom Wilson shares his true thoughts on Montreal Canadiens fans - and it's genuinely unexpected
Unlike his captain Alex Ovechkin..
Wilson admitted he was extremely impressed by the atmosphere at the Bell Centre.
"It's one of the best arenas in the National Hockey League for a reason.
It's very loud, the fans are true, passionate die-hards.
It's one of those places you love playing in as a player.
These are the kind of moments I'll remember when my career is over, but you've got to keep your emotions in check."
- Tom Wilson, on the Bell Centre crowd
Let's just say he really laid it on thick.. Wow!
It won't change my opinion of his hit on Alexandre Carrier, but it does show that Wilson is a passionate guy who knows how to recognize a real hockey city.
