TJ Oshie called in to SportsCenter Sunday to surprise a five-year-old Blues fan who had a bit of a tantrum upon learning upon his trade to Washington. (It was pretty much the same reaction I had when the Hurricanes signed Alex Semin three years ago, so I get it.)
Watch and feel fuzzy things inside your innards, which is hopefully not related to how much you drank during your backyards firework show last night.
TJ calls in around the four-minute mark.
A few things:
- That’s not how you spell his name, Sportscenter.
- Also, the main part of the deal was Brouwer not Copley. So weird.
- Libby’s first question for TJ was if he had a swimming pool because yes – that is also what I was wondering. Oshie’s response: “I have a diving board at the deep end with your name on it.” Amazing.
- “I think it’s okay if you’re fans of a few teams,” Oshie politicked. I’m happy to announce Libby’s new favorite Eastern Conference team is the Capitals. Welcome to the bandwagon!
