Mic’d up Evgeny Kuznetsov had no idea Alex Ovechkin hit 1400 point milestone, thinks ‘WILLY’S FRESH!’

Our bird son Evgeny Kuznetsov was mic’d up for TNT’s national telecast of the Capitals-Lightning game on Wednesday. Kuzy was his normal entertaining self, but perhaps not in the way you’d predict.

Sure, there was both coherent and incoherent yelling, but the most entertaining part of the segment was the Russian center’s discussion with referees about Alex Ovechkin’s milestone goal puck.

Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom was honored for his 1,000th career point before Saturday’s game against the New Jersey Devils.

The Capitals mic’d Nicke up for the festivities and caught the goal celebration as well as the ensuing chaos that thousands of foam apples falling from the sky caused.

Capitals’ mic’d up video of TJ Oshie shows just how frantic and ridiculous he is in warmups

What’s weirder than seeing the Capitals skating around in green jerseys? Hearing what TJ Oshie actually sounds like during warmups where he is an Energizer Bunny full of superstitions, celebrations, and howdys to his coworkers.

The Capitals posted a mic’d up video of Oshie from warmups of Friday’s game against the New York Rangers: the final game of Tom Wilson’s suspension.

By the end, you’re left shaking your head and somehow adoring the star forward even more.

In mic’d up video, Brenden Dillon shows just how important communication is for a defenseman

Brenden Dillon is a uniquely wordy hockey player. He’s revealing and expansive in interviews with the press. And he brings that communication onto the rink too.

Several days ago, the Capitals mic’d up their trade deadline acquisition before Game One of their first-round series against the New York Islanders. During drills, Dillon can be heard commanding play behind the net, which then in turn helps speed up breakouts.

Take a look.

Capitals mic’d up video captures Nicklas Backstrom singing house music during practice

If you thought Nicklas Backstrom practiced in complete silence with a very serious look on his face, you’d *checks Twitter* be wrong.

The Capitals released a mic’d up video of Backstrom from a recent bubble hockey practice on Friday. While Backstrom is predictably very competitive on the ice, he also cracks jokes.

“New drill! Suck it, [team] white,” Backstrom says.

And yes, he’s both a singer and a dancer.

Tom Wilson relentlessly chirps his teammates and coaches in ridiculous mic’d up video

The Washington Capitals mic’d up Tom Wilson during Saturday’s scrimmage and the result is a fantastic piece of hockey cinema.

Wilson chirped Capitals coaches, rookie players, and veterans. The right wing saved most of his ire for the defenders he matched up against that day including Brenden Dillon, Radko Gudas, Dmitry Orlov, and Tyler Lewington.

TJ Oshie seems like the greatest teammate in this Capitals’ mic’d up video

Washington Capitals forward TJ Oshie was mic’d up during Phase 3 Training Camp earlier this week. In a nearly four-minute video, the Osh Babe shows off his ridiculousness.

Placed on the Capitals’ second practice squad because he was unable to skate much during the coronavirus pandemic, Oshie begged for an oxygen tank during practice and later asked head coach Todd Reirden if he could change off the ice early before the conclusion of a 40-second shift.

Laughing and joking the entire time, Oshie seems to be a joy to play with. He’s a glue guy, you guys!
