The Montreal Canadiens are known for conducting thorough interviews during the traditional NHL Combine. This is still the case this year.
When the Canadiens' management meets with prospects one by one for individual interviews, it's one of the most significant encounters for the young players.
The Canadiens are well-prepared, questions come one after another, and players are better off being well-prepared themselves.
But, another thing that characterizes the Canadiens as one of the teams conducting the toughest interviews is because of the famous question about comparing oneself to an animal.
For the past few years, the Habs have been known to ask players the following question: if you were an animal, which one would you be?
"On the ice, I answered a wolf. A wolf pack is like a team, while off the ice, I answered a tiger. I have the eye of the tiger, a confident gaze, and I'm intense and competitive," revealed Sacha Boisvert.

Quebecer Sacha Boisvert responded rather well and seemed ready for this question.
It's a rather peculiar way of doing things, isn't it?
