The holiday season is upon us, which means it’s time for the annual Capitals holiday video. In the past, we’ve gotten fantastic remakes of classic films such as A Christmas Story or Christmas card pictures with the Wizards.
This year, however, we get something wonderfully bad: Wow Capitals Tunes Vol. 2. In the words from confused pitchman Andre Burakovsky, “It’s way better than the first [album] — because we never made one.”

Capitals Tunes: Vol. 2 Available Now!

Some highlights:
- A clown-nosed Matt Niskanen stares deep into the camera, saying “Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,” then walks out of the shot.
- The musically-talented Braden Holtby croons both Let it Snow and Rocking Around the Christmas Tree.
- “I don’t think this is a good idea,” Evgeny Kuznetsov says before completely butchering It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.
- Oh no.
- Chandler Stephenson and Taylor Chorney trade bars on a wonderful It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas duet.
- John Carlson and Dmitry Orlov have 0 rhythm.
- And Tom Wilson is so off key while retching Mariah Carey’s hit All I Want For Christmas is You.
At the end of the video, Young Dre gives us one final pitch: “Call now to stuff those stockings with the best CD in the world. Ever. Period.”
If this CD was real, the Caps would have my money in a heartbeat.
I’d also need this album too.
