During a recent NHL game between the Washington Capitals and Ottawa Senators, players Tom Wilson and Brady Tkachuk fought, setting a fierce tone in the match. Wilson's aggression stemmed from a late hit and resulted in an entertaining bout, which ended in a draw. This fight took place against the backdrop of the 4 Nations Face-Off, where Wilson was notably left off Canada's roster. Reflecting on the Canada vs. USA rivalry, Wilson expressed a strong desire to compete, illustrating the deep emotional connection players feel toward intense matches.
"I mean, I loved it," Wilson said later. "I think it was one of the best hockey games to watch in a long time. It was two countries that don't like each other. It was hockey. It was great. It was a little bit of everything."
"I was sitting on my couch before the game, and it kind of hit me. I was like, 'God, I want to be playing in that game.' That rivalry, there's nothing better."
