Jay Beagle, the man who put the Caps up 2-1 in the second period, was Hockey Night In Canada’s guest during the second intermission. Yes, Beags got the esteemed HNIC towel.
Usually intermission interviews are irrelevant and chock full of cliches. Instead, Beags revealed a tasty nugget about what the Caps did on their flight home from Raleigh Monday night.
They sung Christmas carols.
Arash Madani: First game out of the break, Glenn Healy mentioned on the broadcast that you guys actually came back from Carolina singing Christmas carols on the team flight. The Golden State Warriors eat together after games. They’re a championship team. You’ve been around this team forever. How tight is this group?
Jay Beagle: It is a tight group. It’s a fun group to be a part of. We got a lot of guys who love Christmas. And the Christmas spirit was high. It’s a lot of fun with these guys. They’re a great group of guys.
Arash Madani: Who was the worst singer?
Jay Beagle: Ahhhh. Oooo. I would probably say Burakovsky. Yep. I mean that voice… it doesn’t go well. Chimera is one of the best so…
Suffice to say, the the 2015-16 Capitals are both close knit and incredibly nerdy.
