Andre Burakovsky is going to be an uncle

For now on, you can just call him Uncle Andre.

Andre Burakovsky found out two months ago that he would have a new brother after Seb Mollden, Andre’s barber and a former Swedish hockey player, proposed to his girlfriend Alexandra Burakovsky, Andre’s sister, at Miami Beach. The proposal happened during the Capitals’ bye week while the three were vacationing together.

Sunday came news of another sort. Andre is going to become an uncle. His sister announced she is pregnant.

Stanley Cup ink: Never-before-seen photos of TJ Oshie’s Mario Kart tattoo

Everyone remembers the joyous days that followed the Capitals’ first Stanley Cup. The team attended a Nationals game where Alex Ovechkin threw out two ceremonial first pitches. The team then took the championship trophy to the Georgetown Waterfront where they invented the Cup stand and swam in the fountains.

One small, but overshadowed part of the night was when several members of the team, who appeared to be inebriated, got tattoos.

In an article in the Players’ Tribune, Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby shared more details about that night and recalled what TJ Oshie said to him at the waterfront.

“We’re doing it, dude. I’m getting a Wario tattoo,” Oshie said according to Holtby’s article. “I’M GETTING A WARIO TATTOO! HOLTS! CALL THE TATTOO GUYS!”

Struggling for most of the season, Capitals third line breaks out against Panthers

The success of the Washington Capitals’ third line — Lars Eller, Brett Connolly, and Andre Burakovsky — was crucial in the team’s first Stanley Cup win. Connolly scored six goals during that playoff run, while Burakovsky scored twice in Game Seven of the Eastern Conference Final. Lars Eller scored the Cup-winning goal.

Coming into the 2018-19 season, expectations were high for the trio, but they have struggled to repeat their past dominance. Yet, in Saturday’s overtime loss to the Florida Panthers, the Caps’ third line gave its best performance of the season.
