Not up for debate: Every 2017-18 Caps player’s favorite Ninja Turtle

WHATS U P BABEESSSS )))The offseason is now in full swing. The Cup has been won, NICCCCEEEEEE, the beards shaved, SENSITIVE SKIN NOOO?? the players re-signed. Aside from the continuing adventures of the WERE NOT GONNA BE SUCK!!!))))), there’s not a whole lot happening in the hockey world. Until now! Presenting a new series in which we will finally understand the true nature of the world champion 2017-18 Washington Capitals through the prism of stupid popular culture. I’m calling it Not Up For Debate because everyone everywhere will agree that these are the universal consensus picks. 

In this episode: What Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle would the Caps be?

Nicklas Backstrom, Raphael

The true star of the team, but underappreciated, and with a dark side.

Jay Beagle, Michelangelo

You probably thought he’d be a Raphael, but nope. He’s a silly party boy.

Madison Bowey, Raphael

Listen, there’s gonna be a lot of Raphaels, so just get ready.

Andre Burakovsky, Leonardo

Leader in training.

John Carlson, Leonardo

Leader in currently leading.

Alex Chiasson, Donatello

I dunno, he probably read a book about planets at some point or something.

Taylor Chorney, Michelangelo

Sir not appearing in this film.

Brett Connolly, Leonardo

Leaderino.

Christian Djoos, Michelangelo

Least leaderiffic

Lars Eller, Donatello

Wise beyond his years. Like a horse.

Philipp Grubauer, Leonardo

Obviously.

Braden Holtby, Donatello

Goalie-ing is a science.

Jakub Jerabek, Donatello

Because it was convenient to make him the same as the last one I used.

Michal Kempny, Leonardo

The reason he and Carlson are such a good pair is b/c they’re both Leos.

Evgeny Kuznetsov, Leonardo

Leaderiffic.

Matt Niskanen, Raphael

Some people would say he’s a Leo, but there were just several Leos in a row, and actually he’s a Raphael.

Dmitry Orlov, Donatello

The thinking man’s defenseman.

Brooks Orpik, Donatello

Ponders perhaps too much when maybe some skating would be more useful.

TJ Oshie, Leonardo

This is the only one you’ll agree with.

Alex Ovechkin, Michelangelo

Until this one. Mikey best))))

Devante Smith-Pelly, Michelangelo

I could also see him being a Raphael, tbh.

Chandler Stephenson, Leonardo

Saskatoonian depth leader.

Jakub Vrana, Raphael

If you’d been scratched a dozen times in your breakout season, you’d have authority issues too.

Nathan Walker, Casey Jones

Obviously.

Tom Wilson, Raphael

Slam dunk, though if you went Bebop/Rocksteady, I’ll allow it.


Though the series is called Not Up For Debate, I’m leaving the comments open. So you can compliment me. For the very good picks. Appreciate the congrats. BEST)))))
