"Murphy's barb was picked up on a hot mic that Sportsnet analyst Louie DeBrusk wears to deliver between-the-benches coverage during Oilers games. What exactly Murphy says is unclear, other than Wilson's full name, but Andersson does have a history with Washington's alternate captain that Murphy could have been referring to."
"Last season, Andersson, then a member of the Calgary Flames, and Wilson got involved in a back-and-forth chirp battle throughout the Capitals' 3-1 victory. The verbal warfare began when Andersson accused Wilson of faking pain to draw a penalty call against one of his Flames teammates."
"I mean, it's emotions, right? Andersson said postgame then. I know he gets triggered by certain stuff. It's emotions. When you look back at it, it's all good on my part, at least."
During a recent game between the Edmonton Oilers and the Vegas Golden Knights, Tom Wilson's name was brought up amidst a heated exchange. Oilers defenseman Connor Murphy referenced Wilson while chirping at Golden Knights defenseman Rasmus Andersson. This mention is notable due to Wilson's history with Andersson, which includes a previous verbal exchange during a game last season. Andersson had accused Wilson of faking pain, leading to a series of mockery between the two players. Their rivalry continues to be a point of interest in the NHL.
