The Washington Capitals’ social media team asked several players to do Evgeny Kuznetsov’s bird celebration to sell tickets for Tuesday’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes. The team is giving away Evgeny Kuznetsov bobbleheads to all fans in attendance.
I am okay with this because the resulting content is great and it resulted in these GIFs.

Alex Ovechkin
An enthusiastic Russian machine, full of joy and self-awareness that he is indeed ridiculous, showed off good form by flailing his arms without much rigidity. He also remembered to properly lift his left leg. This is important, you guys. The laugh at the end is the best part.
TJ Oshie
A smiling TJ Oshie was somewhat less enthusiastic, but his flapping was A+. Oshie lifts the wrong leg, so I’m going to have to deduct points.
Jakub Vrana
Finally, Jakub Vrana did the celly too. Wrong leg. And he seems distracted probably because he’s hungry so can you guys leave, get the cameras out of here, and bring that bowl of spaghetti over here because Jake’s tumbly is rumbly.
