During the 2021-22 season, the Washington Capitals have struggled through a COVID-19 outbreak, non-COVID-19 illness, and injury. Lots and lots of injury.
With my favorite team experiencing all of that bad luck and germs, the following made me worry that Tom Wilson might end up with frostbite.

I’m just kidding.
Capitals defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler visited the Sauna At The Lake in Switzerland. The lake is 30 minutes away from Zurich where the young prospect lives.
According to Miranda, who primarily runs our Instagram, Siegenthaler did “the full Linda Barrett from Fast Times at Ridgemont High” in the video shared to his Story.
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Nor was Tom Wilson: the athlete.
On Wednesday, Wilson took to his Instagram to thank his talented team behind-the-scenes. For Wilson, Wednesdays during the offseason are used for recovery. So the first-line forward posted a photo of himself getting a massage while laying on a table wearing only short shorts and a mask.
Tom Wilson may one of the best in the world at hockey, but his volleyball game needs some major work.
Wilson’s girlfriend, volleyball pro Taylor Pischke, filmed Wilson (minus a shirt) trying to learn the basics of the sport.
In the end, I think it’s fair to say, it was a disaster.
Memorial Day weekend is here – the unofficial start of summer where temperatures rise, grills get fired up, and pools re-open.
For many quarantining Washington Capitals players, however, they haven’t waited for the change of season to do activities sans shirts.
Let’s review.
Michal Kempny is one of nine Capitals players who left North America to return to his home country during the coronavirus outbreak. Tuesday, the Capitals defenseman jumped on Instagram to tell Capitals fans he misses them.
“Breathe in & breathe out 🙏🏻,” Kempny wrote. “I can’t wait for the moment when I see you all at the game after this 🏒 #staysafe”

TJ Oshie starred in a video released by the NHL on Monday.
The Capitals forward, while rocking his All-Star jersey, helped explain what “tarps off” means and revealed some times he’s done so in the past.
Alex Ovechkin and Tom Wilson aren’t the only Washington Capitals players spending the bye week in Mexico. Defenseman Michal Kempny is in Cancún with his girlfriend Nicola and has the smoldering beach photo to prove it.
“Hola,” a shirtless Kempny wrote on Instagram.
Alex Ovechkin is vacationing in Mexico’s Riviera Maya for the bye week with his wife Nastya, his son Sergei, and his extended family.
We can now add first-line forward Tom Wilson to that list.
Monday afternoon, Nastya Ovechkina posted video to her Instagram Story of Wilson and his girlfriend, Taylor Pischke, playing a game of volleyball against Ovechkin on the beach. Pischke is a professional volleyball player from Canada.

“They look pretty sober,” Evgeny Kuznetsov incorrectly observed of the Washington Nationals during the second intermission. “When we was in their situation, I don’t remember anything.”
Literally minutes later, a group of Washington Nationals players including Max Scherzer, Trea Turner, and Adam Eaton, got onto a Zamboni.
They got shirtless with their World Series championship trophy.
