Montreal Canadiens forward Cole Caufield made no secret about being unhappy after being leveled by Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin in Game 1 of their series.
The Montreal Canadiens and Washington Capitals are facing one another in the Stanley Cup Playoffs; it marks their 1st meeting in the postseason since Montreal shocked Washington in the opening round of 2010.
So far, the opening matchup at Capital One Arena in Washington DC has been a physical affair.
Not surprisingly, Washington Capitals captain and future Hall of Famer Alex Ovechkin isn't shy about throwing his weight around.
Montreal Canadiens forward Cole Caufield, who scored the Habs' 1st goal of the game in the 3rd period, was leveled by Ovechkin in the corner with a hit that sent the former down to the ice.
He was interviewed by ESPN's Emily Kaplan during the intermission and, with a laugh, he made no secret about the fact that he did not recommend being on the receiving end of a hit by Ovechkin.
I wouldn't recommend it.
He also compounded on the fact that not only has his team been preparing for the postseason by playing urgent playoff-style hockey for the last several weeks, but that they must match the level of physicality that the Capitals are known to bring.
We've been playing playoff style hockey for a while, so keep doing what we're doing. We need to match their pace.
It's a lot of fun, they have a lot of guys that can hit and we have to bring it back to them.
Caufield's goal, his 1st of the playoffs, was also the 1st Stanley Cup Playoffs goal for the Canadiens this season.
