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.
It’s already felt like way too long of a summer and the NHL playoffs aren’t even over yet. Thankfully for Caps fans, they can pass the time by endlessly perusing through players’ Instagram photos to see who Tom Wilson and Michael Latta have chirped lately.

Being responsible for an aesthetically pleasing Instagram account can be a difficult task, so we’ve got to commend Mike Richards for trying. Unfortunately, trying is not the same as succeeding.
Recently, the Caps forward set his profile to public, allowing fans to take a closer look at his glamorous life. Wait… I’m getting confused with Alex Ovechkin’s Instagram. Richards’ is just filled with pictures of fish and dogs. Oh, and two championship rings, with a third to add to the collection after this postseason. So, only a little glamorous.

Our long national nightmare is over. Brooks Laich has finally given Michael Latta and Tom Wilson the Instagram follow-back for which they had been begging for a long, long time.

Those meddling kids are at it again.
After Brooks Laich posted an update on his Instagram Tuesday showing him traveling back to LA for the Holiday Break, Laich’s liney Michael Latta and Laich’s former liney Tom Wilson started begging for a follow back again.
Christmas has come early, you guys.

This week, amateur quadcopter pilot Brooks Laich did something on Instagram he hadn’t done since joining: he followed two accounts. Previously he had been following only fiancee Julianne Hough. So which two accounts did Brooks follow? Could it be?!

Amid the chaos of Nicklas Backstrom‘s gold-medal game suspension on Sunday, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin quietly joined his second social media network, Instagram. The Russian machine chose the subtle username, a0gr8 because modesty. Then he went wild, posting pics of everything Ovi. Let’s catch up.
