On Tuesday, the Washington Capitals hosted some kind of media luncheon thing and made available literally everyone in the Caps organization. That list included owner Ted Leonsis, who dropped what I initially thought was a bombshell during his press conference.
I heard him say something about Nicklas Backstrom having a new “beautiful baby boy.”
Upon closer inspection of District Sports Page’s Katie Brown tweets, however, I learned that Backstrom did not have a new child over the summer. Leonsis was just talking about how Nicklas Backstrom refers to a new addition to the Washington Capitals.
Ted Leonsis said Nick Backstrom referred to Andre Burakovsky as "a beautiful baby boy."

Full quote from Backstrom was "Now I have a beautiful baby girl and a beautiful baby boy!"

Oh! Andre Burakovsky!
Backstrom’s actual child, Haley, is so much cuter as an actual baby.
Update: Here’s another photoshop we received from Shelby V on Twitter. You guys are the best.
