Caps Roomies

Tom Wilson’s new #CapsRoomie is Chandler Stephenson. They’re already hitting it off.

There are many signs of a great roommate such as when they take out the trash, do your dishes, or pick up food for you. There are also signs of an excellent roommate, like when they go the extra mile and not just pick up food for you…but also act like they are your Postmates driver.

Chandler Stephenson is one of those excellent roommates after he decided to text roomie Tom Wilson a play-by-play of when his food will arrive.

Stephenson also gave himself a code name…Lil’ Steve and now I will never be able to call him anything else.

Let’s Remember the Good Times: Caps Roomies Tom Wilson and Michael Latta are Breaking Up

“It’s been fun, see you never,” Michael Latta tweeted to Andre Burakovsky in September.

After feeling “older and more mature,” the Burracuda moved into his own apartment, leaving the original Caps’ roomies, Latta and Tom Wilson, a brobean short.

Fast-forward to today and things have become harrowing. Washington Capitals General Manager Brian MacLellan non-tendered Latta, a restricted free agent, while tendering Wilson — metaphorically evicting Latta from the team. Talk about awkward. Latta will be free to sign with another team on July 1, breaking the lease between the Caps Roomies for good (at least physically in Arlington). Latta said his goodbyes this evening.

Thank you Washington, love the city, love the fans. Looking forward to earning an opportunity somewhere else.

Wilson responded.

Going to be sad not having you around next year brother. It was an amazing few years and you'll always be a great friend @Latta17

During difficult times like these, we must openly weep, become irrational, and eat buckets of Häagen-Dazs. And also: remember the good times!
