MLB Network had Max Scherzer on its live show Wednesday. The Washington Nationals ace spoke about his successful 2019 season and finally winning the World Series for the first time.
During the segment, Max had an unexpected guest.
Brooks Orpik and Evgeny Kuznetsov have an unlikely friendship. While the two were both new to the Capitals, the veteran defenseman watched Family Feud with the Russian center.
Kuznetsov said Orpik, whom he nicknamed Batya or “Dad,” would teach him useful English phrases during that time, which is how he learned idioms such as “it is what it is” and “it’s not my first rodeo.”
And while Orpik was teaching Kuznetsov English phrases, Kuznetsov taught Orpik some not so useful Russian, too.
For instance, Thursday, ahead of the Capitals’ 5-1 win over the San Jose Sharks, Orpik showed off a Russian phrase he learned while Alex Ovechkin conducted a Russian-language interview with Sport-Express.

Before the Capitals and Bruins game kicked off, Mike Vogel and John Walton had their Two-Man Advantage pregame chat by the TD Garden glass. What they probably didn’t expect, was a wild Alex Ovechkin and Dmitry Orlov appearing in the background while they tried to deliver some analysis.

Since Google thinks Tom Wilson is dead, the Caps winger must want to remind everyone that he’s still alive because he keeps showing up everywhere.
Wednesday, after the team’s practice in Denver, Wilson videobombed Taylor Chorney’s one-on-one interview after the veteran defenseman learned he’d be back in the lineup Thursday night.
Russia President Vladimir Putin made national headlines on Thursday when he offered political asylum to James Comey.
“[Comey] said he’d written down his conversation with President [Trump] and handed it to the media through a friend of his,” Putin said, according to NPR and a translation by Radio Free Europe. “This does sound and look odd: the director of a security service making records of his talks with the supreme commander and handing it over to the media through a friend of his.”
Putin was speaking at an annual Direct Line appearance on state TV, in which he spends hours taking questions from a studio audience and from civilians across Russia.
While Putin made his remarks, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin was spotted sitting in the crowd.
Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin conducted a very serious interview with NHL Network during Caps Casino Night. While holding a CSN-branded microphone (for some reason), Ovechkin dished on his favorite casino games as well as who is the best card player on the team.
Ovechkin was also asked how Barry Trotz was doing after being struck in the head by an errant puck Saturday night.
“He’s okay,” Ovechkin said. “He tough man so he can handle it.”
Ovechkin tried to keep a straight face, but then began giggling.
The rest of the interview is below.

Nate Schmidt is having a great start to the 2016-17 season, but Friday night in Chicago, the Schmiduation is dire. Nate will be the first of the Caps’ top-six defenseman to sit so the Chorn Horn can sound.
Let’s see how The Human Emoji is taking the news.
During pregame warm-ups, Jill Sorenson conducted a precious Hockey Fights Cancer interview with Peter, a 17-year-old who’s in remission from Ewing’s Sarcoma and leukemia. As it began, Justin Williams skated by and made sure to say hello.
Ted Leonsis sure had a fun night. He watched his team shut out the Avs, he gave Braden Holtby a guitar, he did some intense iPhone swiping, and then he made an ambush cameo on CSN. I guess you can get away with that when you BASICALLY OWN THE CHANNEL NOW.
