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.

Tom Wilson published a rare Instagram post on Tuesday. Wilson celebrated a “great day of work” at BioSteel Camp by posting two photos of himself shirtless.
I think the kids call this a thirst trap.
Michal Kempny is continuing his recovery after suffering a freakish injury in the winter.
The Czech defenseman tore his left hamstring during a March 20 game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Kempny underwent season-ending surgery nearly two weeks later on April 2 and would be out four-to-six months.
Less than four months after going under the knife, Kempny is running the steps of DRFG Arena – the home of his former Czech league team, HC Kometa Brno.
A shirtless Kempny showed off his progress on Instagram.
As we noted in our article reporting the signing, Jakub Vrana is on an ABSolutely terrific vacation in Marbella, Spain with several of his closest friends.
Vrana posted a photo from the pool on Monday. Today, the Czech winger posted several photos and video from a pool party featuring hundreds of beautiful people. Beautiful people as far as the eye can see.
It appears he has still not located his shirt.
