Tom Wilson posts scouting combine photo, gets roasted on Instagram

The brobeans are back at it again on Instagram.

On Wednesday, Tom Wilson posted two photos in an Instagram gallery. First, he uploaded a throwback photo of him at the scouting combine, which is yikes. The photo, taken in 2012, features an 18-year-old Wilson with short, fluffy hair, and a dazed look. Tom appears about half the size as he currently is.

Next, Wilson showed off his transformation seven years later with his 2018-19 NHL headshot, featuring well-groomed hair, a big bushy beard, and a more sophisticated look on his face.

Of course, Wilson’s comment section was pure fire.

Tampa Bay Lightning get a puppy named Bolt for the upcoming season

The Tampa Bay Lightning may have signed Kevin Shattenkirk yesterday, but their biggest pick up of the offseason is yellow Labrador puppy, Bolt. They are now the newest team to jump on the puppy bandwagon.

Bolt, who will serve as a team ambassador while becoming big and strong, will be with the Lightning for a year before adventuring to become a service dog. He will definitely work to the top of his paw-tential and fit in great with the squad.

Alex Ovechkin will not force his son Sergei to play hockey

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin held a Russian language press conference on Thursday ahead of his annual youth hockey tournament, the Alexander Ovechkin Cup, in Moscow.

Ovechkin addressed several topics including the end of his 13-year contract with the Capitals in 2021 and his thoughts on Artemi Panarin’s criticism of Vladimir Putin. Ovechkin also spoke about hockey in Russia and his son, Sergei.

Ovi was asked if his son will follow in his footsteps and play hockey. The Russian machine said Sergei will be put in skates when he starts walking, but it’s up to him whether he continues with the sport.

The quotes are from an interview transcript published by sport24.ru and translated by RMNB’s Igor Kleyner.

The San Jose Sharks have started the offseason with a bang. On Monday, they re-signed Erik Karlsson to an eight-year deal and Friday they announced their acquisition of a new yellow Labrador puppy named Finn for the upcoming season.

Finn measures one-foot, four-inches and weighs slightly more than a watermelon, eight pounds. He should be a great addition to the squad.

Hockey-tough Max Scherzer strikes out 10 after breaking nose 24 hours earlier

Players in different sports handle pain differently. For instance, during the Stanley Cup Final, Zdeno Chara played while having multiple jaw fractures. In baseball, a player may miss a game with a blood blister.

Max Scherzer, however, is trying to end that stigma in baseball. After breaking his nose practicing bunting during batting practice on Tuesday, Scherzer made his scheduled start and pitched in the Washington Nationals’ Wednesday evening game.

Scherzer pitched a gem, of course, and sported a gnarly black eye at the same time. He got the attention of the Capitals too with his performance.

Up 3-1 over the Golden State Warriors, the Toronto Raptors were in position to wrap up their first ever NBA championship on Monday night. And the stars were out north of the border to show support to the team, including one player who knows a thing or two about clutch scoring in a decisive championship game.

Capitals forward Devante Smith-Pelly, who is an unrestricted free agent come July, attended the game and sat in the lower bowl behind one of the baskets. Smith-Pelly, a Scarborough, Ontario native, has attended several Raptors playoffs games since the Caps season ended, including some with his mother and family.
