The Washington Capitals held their annual Halloween Party last night and Halloween was sure in full swing at the home of Lauren and TJ Oshie.
TJ channeled his cool mom vibes while sporting a walking boot on his right foot. The boot is due to an injury that he suffered against the Detroit Red Wings and is currently keeping him out week-to-week hockey-wise but clearly not forcing him to be a regular mom.

Halloween was in full swing at the Oshie home Thursday. TJ Oshie and his daughters, Leni and Lyla, dressed up for trick-or-treating last night and went all out with some great costumes.
Oshie channeled Mr. Incredible while eldest daughter, Lyla, dressed like a wicked witch and Leni dressed as…a munchkin? Candy person? To be completely honest, I have no idea, but it’s Halloween so who cares!

Capitals fan Charlie is no stranger to creating intricate Capitals inspired artwork on pumpkin to celebrate the spooky season. And, with the three-year anniversary of Dmitry Orlov’s hipcheck on Matt Duchene happening earlier in October, they decided to immortalize the moment in pumpkin.
While we’ve been a fan of their previous designs, this one might be our favorite yet!

Justin Williams, former Washington Capital and currently the captain of the Carolina Hurricanes, is having fun this (Halloween) season. He doesn’t just lead his new team in Kuznetsov-inspired canoe-cellies, he gets their adrenaline pumping off the ice, too.
This excellent captain put on a scary clown mask and gave his teammates a solid jump scare. Luckily for all of us, the Canes got it all on camera.
I hope no one’s afraid of clowns…

The Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup in June. That enthusiasm inspired many Stanley Cup-themed Halloween costumes. It also motivated many Caps fans to carve championship-themed pumpkins.
We were sent carved pumpkins featuring Stanley Cups, Weagles, and even carvings inspired by our own t-shirt designs (which we like the best, duh).
Did you make a Stanley Cup-umpkin, too? Share in the comments.

Alex Ovechkin had a spooky encounter on Tuesday afternoon at MedStar Capitals Iceplex. Ovechkin entered a darkened locker room, lit only with the dim glimmer of television cameras, and found waiting for him in one of the stalls…a disembodied head.
His own gourd, one might say.
Yes, Ovi met pumpkin Ovi. Pumpkin Ovi was presented to Ovechkin by the artist, Suzy Mink. “What a great face, huh?” Ovechkin said, looking at the pumpkin bemused.
Mink told Ovechkin that it took about an hour to etch his likeness onto the pumpkin.

For a cross-section of Capitals fans, they may struggle to look at TJ Oshie the same way again.
Tuesday night for Halloween, TJ and wife Lauren dressed their two adorable children up as President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. The photo is cute and the likenesses are spot on, but Oshie normalizing Donald Trump’s behavior like this and this and this and especially this is problematic – especially for someone who is so popular and idolized by kids.
Some people celebrate Halloween by sitting on their couch eating Milky Ways in a Donald Duck onesie. Others go above and beyond to make their costume as extra as possible. This Halloween, there was certainly a mix of effort among hockey fans and players this Halloween. But overall everyone just looked really, really good.

It’s Halloween and I, just like you, will be answering the door and giving all the neighborhood children candy tonight. They will scream TRICK OR TWEEEEEEET and it’ll be adorable.
But I need to be honest for a moment. I am all for the treats of Halloween, but not the actual tricks. I hate scary costumes and being spooked. It gives me great anxiety.
However, watching other people get scared, especially if those other people are tough hockey players… well, that is my aesthetic. Over the last few years, several NHL teams have released Halloween videos that I still can’t get enough of – even now.
