Over the last year, Tom Wilson became a first-line player, a bonafide goalscorer, and a Stanley Cup champion.
Friday, Wilson’s 25th birthday began just like his 23rd: with former roommate Andre Burakovsky posting a child photo of Wilson.
“Happy birthday brother,” Burakovsky wrote. “Really hope that you enjoy your day. #25”
Stanley Cup champion Alex Ovechkin celebrated his 33rd birthday party in style, Monday night. Joined by his wife Nastya, his mom Tatyana, his agent David, his physical trainer Pavel, and his close friend Gus, Ovechkin ate at the Peking Gourmet Inn in Falls Church, Virginia, and feasted on three roasted ducks.
The Chinese restaurant, formerly frequented by 41st President of the United States George H. W. Bush, has its walls filled with framed photos of its most famous visitors like PSY, Duff Goldman, and George W. Bush. After winning his first championship, Ovechkin may now be its most famous.
At the end of the dinner, the staff came out and sang Ovechkin happy birthday in Chinese.

Evgeny Kuznetsov is tearing it up in the postseason so the Capitals’ Mike Vogel spoke to the Russian pivot after the team’s morning skate Saturday.
I’m sure, like always, there were lots of intelligent things said ahead of a pivotal Game Five, but all I could pay attention to was Tom Wilson’s signing.
Sunday was Dmitry Orlov’s 26th birthday. The stalwart defenseman celebrated with his wife, Varvara Orlova, in Moscow, according to the pair’s respective Instagram feeds.
Orlova pulled out all the stops to celebrate her husband’s birthday after what was by all measures a special year for him.

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin celebrated a very special birthday on Friday, June 30.
Ovechkin took to Instagram to give some love to his dad Mikhail.
Andre Burakovsky turned 22-years-old on Thursday. He received a special gift online from his former roommate and current neighbor.
“Little Andre is another year older,” Tom Wilson wrote on Twitter. Wilson then posted a mildly embarrassing, but one-hundred percent satisfying photo of his teammate in a leather jacket and white sunglasses.
Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin took a moment after a decisive, if non-Bailamos-worthy, 5-2 win over New Jersey Devils on Thursday night to wish his big brother Mikhail a happy birthday via an Instagram post.

On Friday, the NHL announced that they were idiotically fining Tom Wilson $2,000 for diving. That’s probably okay with Wilson though because today he left Kettler Capitals Iceplex with about $2,000 worth of baked goods.
It was a decent trade-off.

Today is Mitch Korn‘s 57th birthday (and Braden Holtby’s 25th). In honor of the occasion, here is a photo from The Goalie Guild of Korn eating corn.
Now I’ll do you one better.
We asked you, the deranged and lovely readers of RMNB, to congratulate our hero Alex Ovechkin on his 28th year of life. You had to make a birthday card. The only rule was that you had to use a cheap graphic editor to make it.
What we didn’t tell you is that we don’t have to follow the same rules. Above is our card for Ovi, via RMNB resident artist Rachel Cohen, who is awesome. Meanwhile, you guys knocked this assignment out of the park. Like Joel Rechlicz, you backhanded the puck past your limitations and blazed new trails of Art with a capital A. Cruise on down past the jump to check out the gallery.
