In breaking puppy Instagram news, Tom Wilson’s new puppy, Halle, has her own Instagram account @thehallepup. The profile appears to have been created two days ago by Wilson’s longtime girlfriend Taylor Pischke.
The profile says:
🐾 Black lab mix from @wolftrapanimalrescue
❤️ Pine cones, digging holes and naps
📍 Washington, DC
👩🏼🤝👨🏻 @tomwilson and @taylor_pischke
So far, Wilson and Pischke have posted six photos and videos and predictably… they’re amazing.

Alex Ovechkin scored a hat trick in his second consecutive game Saturday against the New York Islanders. But afterwards, the Russian machine was humbled as he sat on a plane with his wife Nastya and his son Sergei.
While the fam waited to jet-set for Mexico, Nastya asked Ovi to do the Which Disney Character Are You? Instagram filter, which is currently a rage online.
The future Hockey Hall of Famer obliged but was not pleased with the end result.
The birdman is back on social media.
Wednesday night, after the Capitals lost to the New York Rangers 4-1, Evgeny Kuznetsov posted four photos from the Capitals bus to his formerly dormant Instagram account. He’s already deleted one of the pics, a photo with backup goaltender Ilya Samsonov, but otherwise, Kuzy seems to be spreading his wings again and letting the public back into his life.
Evgeny Kuznetsov had a controversial summer, and now the fallout has hit his Instagram page.
Kuznetsov has deleted all his photos and video on his Instagram, removed his avatar, and only follows five other accounts: Alex Ovechkin, Abe Hamrah, Designo Motors, @xfiggie, and @rus_crimina.
The downsizing of Kuznetsov’s social media presence comes months after a user posted video of the him sitting near a white, powdery substance. Though the NHL and the Capitals cleared Kuznetsov of wrongdoing, Kuznetsov has subsequently been subject to online harassment. Except for speaking with Sport-Express soon after the video hit social media, Kuznetsov has not done any interviews with the press and has maintained a low profile this summer.
The brobeans are back at it again on Instagram.
On Wednesday, Tom Wilson posted two photos in an Instagram gallery. First, he uploaded a throwback photo of him at the scouting combine, which is yikes. The photo, taken in 2012, features an 18-year-old Wilson with short, fluffy hair, and a dazed look. Tom appears about half the size as he currently is.
Next, Wilson showed off his transformation seven years later with his 2018-19 NHL headshot, featuring well-groomed hair, a big bushy beard, and a more sophisticated look on his face.
Of course, Wilson’s comment section was pure fire.

Since being dealt by the Capitals at the 2016 trade deadline, Brooks Laich has maintained ties with at least one Caps player on social media: Alex Ovechkin. It’s mostly come in the form of chirping.
For instance, Laich went live on Instagram Monday night and was hit up by a very eager commenter.
Programming note: We’re going to be doing something special on Instagram and we wanted to let you guys know.
RMNB will be posting throwback stories and moments (imagine Timehop and Facebook Memories) on our Instagram Story. What we’ve noticed internally is that we’ve done a lot of fun work and, years later, that news is even more ridiculous with the current context of the team. So instead of keeping this private, we wanted to share it with you.
So let’s remember the good, the bad, the funny, and sometimes sad in Caps history together.

We all make typos, lord knows I make 300 a day, but the Capitals Instagram account made an especially funny mistake Wednesday evening. At around 9 PM, the team’s Instagram account told fans Late night hockey on Wednesday! #CapsNucks #ALLCAPS.
Except there’s only one problem: the Caps play the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday.
A year ago, former Capital Brooks Laich was not adept enough at Instagram to follow his lineys, Tom Wilson and Michael Latta.
Fast forward to today, Laich is now a regular poster who conducts Instagram live sessions. I don’t even do that. Laich also frequently communicates with ex-teammates in the comments. Friday night, Laich and his former captain, Alex Ovechkin, continued their lovefest.
