The Washington Capitals released their holiday video today. The video features players from the Wizards and Caps posing, ridiculously, for Christmas cards.

Then they cut to raw footage in front of the green screen, which is great.

A few observations:

• What is that thing engulfing Brooks Orpik’s head?
• The twins are in the card together. Jason Chimera kisses family member Joel Ward on the cheek.
• Brooks Laich’s ugly sweater has a tie. Like, what on earth is the ugly sweater industry doing?
• Those smiles from Karl Alzner, John Carlson, and Jay Beagle doe.
• John Wall’s rocking the Alex Ovechkin ugly sweater and Alex is rocking the Wall ugly sweater.
• Blaine Forsythe looks like he’s having fun or maybe any other human emotion.
