Well, it appears these childish tactics only fuled Wilson's fire, as he had a dominant performance last night and emerged as the Game 4 hero.
First, Wilson laid a crushing hit on Habs blueliner Alexandre Carrier near the center line, across from the benches. As Carrier picked himself up and skated back to the bench, Jakob Chychrun lofted a «go deep, I'll look for you» type of aerial pass from the half wall in Washington ice, to the Montreal end.
After the game, head coach Spencer Carbery emphasized Wilson's contribution to the win.
«Completely changed the momentum of the game,» says Carbery of Wilson's hit on Carrier. «And that's a prime example of one of the elements he brings to the game. And he does so many different things, and everybody in here knows how impactful he is, and how unique he is. You saw firsthand how significant he can play a role in the team coming back and winning a hockey game, at the most important time of the year.»
