Over the last two seasons, the Washington Capitals have been publishing player reaction GIFs on their social media platforms. These clips have resulted in such priceless GIFS as Nate Schmidt giving a thumbs ups, Karl Alzner waving, and Braden Holtby doing his best Dikembe Mutombo impression. The GIFs are the perfect balance of being awkward but also flawless at the exact same time.

After receiving a bunch of help from @annasleong and @zimmermitt, we’ve finally centralized all of these GIFs in one place.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Caps player reaction GIF library.
