After years of showing not much personality on social media, the Capitals’ Twitter has slowly come out of its cozy word cocoon. They still do way too many hashtags, but now they’re taking chances and getting salty with opposing teams. Like taking jabs at the Penguins on Twitter.
I support this.
The Caps published these tweets when they were down 2-1 and 3-2 respectively in the second period.

@washcaps If Ovechkin acted that way after a clear bad call for no goal, you’d be hailing his passion to win. Get a grip.
