Tom Wilson chirps Andre Burakovsky’s Instagram caption, offers help via text message

For those of you worried that Tom Wilson’s terrorizing of former roommate, Andre Burakovsky, would end now that Burky is a member of the Colorado Avalanche, you can rest easy.

It will continue, it appears, for the rest of time.

Saturday, Burakovsky posted a photo of himself from his native Sweden. “Really enjoying the summer!!” Burakovsky wrote, which doesn’t really square up with his semi-smiling, semi-grimacing face.

Tom Wilson replied within an hour.

Andre Burakovsky posts photoshop of himself holding Tom Wilson as his son

Andre Burakovsky and Tom Wilson’s long simmering internet beef continued over the weekend.

The silly back-and-forths usually go like this: Tom notices something funny about Andre and chirps him in epic fashion. Andre then responds, trying to save face, and ends up looking even sillier. It’s one of the most entertaining parts of being a Caps fan.

Andre Burakovsky wasn’t invited to John Carlson’s Thanksgiving celebration

The holiday season can be a lonely time, especially for foreign-born players who are living away from their families and are unfamiliar with the local celebrations. They can be especially lonely if you’re Andre Burakovsky, who–despite dropping so many hints that the Capitals cleaning staff will be picking them up until Christmas–didn’t manage to wrangle an invite to Thanksgiving dinner.

Samantha Pell of the Washington Post interviewed foreign players, including Burakovsky, about their Thanksgiving plans. “When I live in America I guess I have to follow the traditions and the holidays,” Burakovsky said, “so I haven’t really planned anything yet.”

John Carlson‘s family, however, had made plans. Carlson posted a picture of him, his wife Gina, and their youngest son Rudy celebrating. Burakovsky–and captain Alex Ovechkin–both left comments making sure the Carlsons know that their Caps family felt left out.

Enforcer Ryan Reaves fought Liam O’Brien last night during the Capitals 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, but the call-up’s face was not the one Reaves wanted to be punching.

After knocking down The Big Tuna with three consecutive punches, Reaves taunted Tom Wilson on the bench letting the Caps enforcer know that he, in the almighty words of Goldberg, was next!
