""I think we've played against each other for our whole careers. Like, we respect each other's game. I think that's what was pretty much said in the handshake line there.""
""No. No, no, no. After (the incident), I was though.""
""It's good to see him in that position for sure.""
Montreal Canadiens' Josh Anderson reflected on his rivalry with Washington Capitals' Tom Wilson following their first-round playoff series. Their encounters were intense, including a notable bench brawl during Game 3. However, after the Capitals eliminated the Canadiens, they exchanged a high-five and hug in a show of respect during the handshake line. Anderson acknowledged their long-standing competition and emphasized the mutual respect they hold for each other's playing style, downplaying talk of their on-ice altercations. He also discussed the connection with linesman Kyle Flemington, another former teammate from their junior league days.
