The Washington Capitals are gearing up for what should be an entertaining Game 4 showdown against the Montreal Canadiens tonight, but top prospect Cole Hutson has sparked quite the controversy in a recent social media post.
After the Capitals 6-3 loss in Game 3, a few members of the Washington organization decided to enjoy a night out in Montreal -- including top prospect Cole Hutson.
Now, if you're wondering why Cole Hutson was even in Montreal, it's because he was there to support his brother, Lane Hutson, who's quickly becoming a star blue liner in the league.
What really stirred up some controversy, though, was that Cole was spotted wearing a Montreal Canadiens Christmas sweater -- a move that definitely raised a few eyebrows, especially since he's part of the Washington Capitals organization.

In a recent interview, Cole Hutson explained the reasoning behind wearing a Montreal Canadiens sweater:
«I feel like I'll be cheering for - I mean, I'm going to be sitting in Lane's seats, so I'll probably be up on my feet when both teams score, to be honest,» Hutson said. «I think, obviously, I'll cheer for Lane a bit more than the Capitals, but hopefully I'll be in the Capitals' seat in a few years. When it comes playoff time, if we ever play the Canadiens again, I hope both my parents are rooting for me, and I think we'll take them down, for sure.»
How hilarious is that?
Obviously, family always comes first in the Hutson household.
No matter which team come out on top, it's bound to be a bittersweet moment for the Capitals prospect.
