Wednesday evening, the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation hosted their ninth annual Great Ladies Luncheon & Fashion Show at the Ritz Carlton in Washington DC.
The luncheon was hosted by Northern Virginia raised sports anchor Lindsay Czarniak and had a special honor dedicated to TJ Oshie for his support of Alzheimer’s awareness and research.

After losing to the Carolina Hurricanes in seven games, the Washington Capitals cleaned out their lockers and met with the media on Friday.
Injured forward TJ Oshie was the first player to speak at the podium. “It sucks we’re here today and having this conversation,” Oshie said.
Within minutes of the chat, he touched on something that meant a lot to him.
Oshie said he was almost moved to tears while watching Game Five from home after Caps fans started chanting his name in tribute.
TJ Oshie is in the house.
With less than four minutes remaining in the third period, the Capitals trotted Oshie out of the tunnel to start a chant and wave to the crowd. It felt like a Willis Reed return (without the actual suiting up).
The Washington Capitals will take the ice for Game Seven without TJ Oshie. But that doesn’t mean he won’t be there with them in spirit.
Wednesday night before the game, Lauren Oshie shared a photo of TJ with his two adorable daughters rocking their custom-painted Dad jackets.
The Washington Capitals’ season will be on the brink Wednesday night. Win Game Seven and the Caps advance to the second round for the fifth consecutive year. Lose and go home; the Caps’ quest to go back-to-back will end two months prematurely. We’ll all be heartbroken.
Undoubtedly, Caps fans, you guys, are going to bring the noise and be a force to be reckoned with throughout the game. You’re going to give the players energy to help them make that one extra play. Capital One Arena is going to be shaking.
But before all that anxiety-ridden, uh, fun happens, we should give the players a little extra motivation during warmups and honor two banged up hockey warriors for their sacrifice. Let’s celebrate the two Caps that were injured down the stretch and cannot play tonight.
Let’s win Game Seven for TJ Oshie and Michal Kempny. Let’s do it for Osh. Let’s do it for Kemps.
TJ Oshie is out of the Capitals’ lineup, but not out of their hearts.
Devante Smith-Pelly, who was recalled after Oshie fractured his collarbone in Game Four, wore TJ Oshie’s number 77 hoodie before the game.

The Washington Capitals announced on Sunday that TJ Oshie has successfully undergone a surgical procedure on his fractured right clavicle, or collarbone.
His timeline for return is still indefinite, though this means we have likely seen the last of Oshie for the remainder of the playoffs as previously reported.

TJ Oshie may not have played in Game Five, but he was there in spirit. Oshie, who has been ruled out “indefinitely” following a reported broken collarbone, tweeted before the game that he wanted to hear Capitals fans cheering loud enough to hear through the TV. Fans responded by chanting Oshie’s name in a deafening roar as the Capitals shutout the Canes.
But that was not the only tribute to Oshie. Prior to the game, Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan led Capitals fans in a “Let’s go Caps” chant, which he finished by flipping his jersey over his head and chugging a beer through the jersey, a clear homage TJ Oshie’s now-famous celebration.

One more piece of news on a very busy Saturday night. Washington Post columnist Barry Svrluga reports via Twitter that TJ Oshie broke his collarbone in Game Four.
So that’s horrible.
Update, Sunday, 12:30 PM: The Capitals confirm that Oshie fractured his right clavicle and had surgery to repair it.
#Caps forward TJ Oshie underwent a successful surgical procedure on his fractured right clavicle. Oshie is expected to be out indefinitely.

Before Game Five, TJ Oshie had a simple request for Caps fans. “DC I need you to make some noise tonight for my boys. I want to hear you through the TV,” Oshie wrote on Twitter.
Oshie, who is likely out for the rest of the postseason due to a dirty hit from Warren Foegele, got that and then some.
In the third period, Caps fans started loud TJ OSHIE! chants that could be heard on TV.
