Thursday night at Verizon Center, the Washington Capitals held an open practice and offered free concessions to fans to say sorry for the NHL lockout. The free stuff was cool and all and yay hockey is back, but here’s the real story: Troy Brouwer did the Gangnam Style dance.

We’ve got an epidemic on our hands, people.

Forsberg did it first but Brouwer has more panache.

I think this marks the endpoint of Gangnam Style by the way. PSY’s ironic earworm about the excesses of western culture has finally permeated the final corner of the world. With Troy Brouwer’s ice dance, PSY can now retire to — oh who am I kidding he’s probably going to be in like eight Super Bowl commercials.
