The Washington Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets showed good sportsmanship on the ice after the conclusion of their first-round series.
The team’s two Twitter accounts did so off the ice as well.
The Capitals tweeted the Blue Jackets and congratulated them on their “awesome season.”
Six games, four overtimes – what a series. Congrats to the @BlueJacketsNHL on an awesome season. See you next year, #CBJ#ALLCAPS pic.twitter.com/SnjBTe8on2
