Miscellaneous you missed: big moods and lil bops from the Capitals/Blue Jackets game

Note from Ian Oland: One of the reasons why I asked Brennin to join the RMNB over the summer was because she sees things I don’t during games. The hidden highlights she unearths and the context she gives will make you smile from ear to ear. I hope you enjoy this new series!

So, the Washington Capitals played the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night, losing 2-1 in overtime. Aaaand now that we’ve covered the “hockey” we can dig into the other, more important, much sillier storylines! 🙂

Let’s start with pre-pregame and Evgeny Kuznetsov’s double-breasted hella-gangster bad-ass suit.

Photos from the morning skate: TJ Oshie’s busted face

Last Thursday against the Boston Bruins, TJ Oshie was checked face-first into the boards by the Bruins’ Kevan Miller. Oshie broke his stick on the bench in obvious frustration when he was forced to exit the game for concussion testing protocol, but luckily he returned later in the period to finish the rest of the game, which the Caps won 4-2.

At Saturday’s morning skate ahead of the Capitals’ game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Oshie showed off his new wound, two cuts below his lip.

TJ Oshie won’t tell us what he said in the penalty box in Detroit

As the Capitals clung to a 3-2 lead against the Detroit Red Wings, TJ Oshie took a four-minute double minor for high-sticking with three seconds left in the game. Oshie accidentally hit Detroit’s Filip Hronek in the face. The Capitals forward was summoned to the penalty box where he would sit for the conclusion of the game.

Once there, Oshie smiled and shared a few words with… someone. A fan? A player? We’ll never know. What we do know is that he pointed up at the scoreboard with his stick. He then took his hand out of his glove to gesture something, perhaps counting the score or how many chicken fingers he planned to eat after the game.

Following the Caps’ 6-3 loss to the Nashville Predators on New Year’s Eve, Todd Reirden is going back to the top nine that won the Capitals the Stanley Cup in June.

Alex Ovechkin has been reunited with Evgeny Kuznetsov, TJ Oshie has been bumped down to the second line with Nicklas Backstrom, and Andre Burakovsky will skate with Lars Eller and Brett Connolly.

Reirden deployed these lines roughly halfway through the Caps loss to Nashville and will start with them during the team’s three-game road trip that begins this week.

Capitals players wish you a Happy New Year

While the Russian-speaking Caps were partying at Mari Vanna, other Capitals players, like Nicklas Backstrom and John Carlson, rang in the New Year together at La Vie at The Wharf.

We know this because reader Taylor was there.

“When you spend all of summer 2018 trying to track down the Caps with the cup and then 15 minutes to midnight on NYE they walk into the club you are at with your friends,” Taylor wrote on Twitter.

The Capitals spread holiday cheer by visiting children at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital

Monday afternoon, the Washington Capitals made their annual visit to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. Donning their red home jerseys and Christmas-themed hats, the players interacted with children, while signing autographs and taking photos.

“It’s just about whatever [kids] want us to do,” John Carlson said to the Capitals about the annual event. “As much or as little as they want us to participate in things. Whatever we can do to bring smiles – that’s our focus.”
