With the NHL suspended due to the coronavirus, former Capitals defenseman Mike Green has been more active on social media lately.
Last week, Green shared what his favorite tattoos are.
Green first entered the league in 2005 as a chubby-cheeked, slick-skating rearguard that had no noticeable tattoos. Now, Greener has a full sleeve on his left arm and several tattoos on his right.
Meet Tyler Duchaine. Like many of us, he was a long-suffering Caps fan who had been waiting for the team to win the Stanley Cup.
Monday, Tyler tweeted that if the tweet posted below got 10,000 retweets, he would get a tattoo of Brett Connolly nomming on a piece of pizza while getting a tattoo.

On Saturday, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin drove up to Laurel, Maryland, for an exclusive autograph signing sponsored by Fanatics. Ovechkin signed countless pucks, photos, and jerseys for Caps fans who traveled to Sports Card Heroes. One fan also had a creative request, which Ovechkin happily obliged.
Mike Zupan, a long-time Capitals fan and US Army veteran, was never quite interested in getting a tattoo during his childhood. But in his adult years, he reconsidered when he daydreamed about a potential Capitals’ Stanley Cup championship run. That, to him, and many other fans in this area, would be worth celebrating. In June, the Capitals finally achieved that franchise first and Mike decided to get two tattoos to forever remember the 2017-18 season: a Stanley Cup with the Capitals logo and Alex Ovechkin’s autograph underneath.
Every tattoo is unique. And for anyone who has gotten one, no matter if the design is large or small, detailed, or abstract, has a special story.
Mike’s story is especially captivating as he had Ovechkin literally sign his arm. He writes about the backstory and his experience below.
On Saturday, the Washington Capitals announced the signing of talented Russian forward Sergei Shumakov.
Just like Evgeny Kuznetsov, Shumakov is from Chelyabinsk and a former top-20 point-scorer in the KHL.
The former CSKA Moscow player also has wings like Kuzy, who is known for doing a birdman celebration. Shumakov’s eagle homage is just a bit more…literal.

Indeed they did.
