Memorial Day weekend is here – the unofficial start of summer where temperatures rise, grills get fired up, and pools re-open.

For many quarantining Washington Capitals players, however, they haven’t waited for the change of season to do activities sans shirts.

Let’s review.

Richard Panik

The Capitals fourth-line forward recently dug a giant hole to install a sewer, which I’m told is also a metaphor for what life’s been like for the last nine weeks. Panik’s sewer project has to be the most random and stinkiest job a Capitals player has performed to stay in shape during the quarantine.

Vitek Vanecek

The Hershey Bears goaltender may be great at stopping pucks, but the jury’s still out on if he’s a good gardener.

Nick Jensen

Nick Jensen has taken care of many lagging house chores during the quarantine. For instance, he finished hanging some string lights around trees on his deck though according to Jensen’s chest, it could not be done properly while wearing a shirt.

Michal Kempny

Ah, Michal Kempny, the least shirt-wearing Capital of them all. Kemper recently shaved his head as well as go on a hike and walk in a lake shirtless. Why am I suddenly worried he’s having a Britney Spears-style meltdown?

TJ Oshie

TJ Oshie didn’t need a holiday weekend to drink Claws in the backyard pool of his French-inspired mansion.

Martin Fehervary

The prospect defenseman can dance and also most definitely has the shortest workout shorts I’ve ever seen.

Shane Gersich

Shane Gersich introduced the world to his new dog Melo on his board while shirtless.

Alex Ovechkin

And finally, here’s the Russian machine doing some crazy workout with an ocean view.
