Alex Ovechkin does ‘Which Disney Character Are You?’ Instagram filter, does not like the end result

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.

Evgeny Kuznetsov returns to Instagram

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 deletes all posts on his Instagram page

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.

Tom Wilson posts scouting combine photo, gets roasted on Instagram

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.

RMNB’s going to start messing around with Instagram stories

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.

Alex Ovechkin and Brooks Laich are now chirping each other about fashion on Instagram

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.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Mike Richards’ Instagram

Photo: @mikehrichards

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.
