Avid gamer and dude that has Wario tattooed on his upper thigh, TJ Oshie, is doing what he can to keep himself entertained and keep His Precious safe on road trips.
Over the offseason, Oshie purchased a very fancy travel case for his Xbox video game console. And tonight, it’s making its season debut as the Capitals fly to Buffalo for their four-game trek to open the 2020-21 season.
“Of course – a travel case so he can game remotely,” Lauren Oshie wrote, seemingly exasperated with her husband’s silly hobby.

During Phase 3 Training Camp, TJ Oshie was asked how the team would pass time in the bubble. “We’re a Mario Kart team,” Oshie said.
He was not lying.
Monday night, while speaking to his wife Lauren back at home, TJ had to leave because he had very important business he needed to conduct in the bubble. He needed to play video games with the boys.
Evgeny Kuznetsov spoke about hockey, his family, and giving up video games in a new interview with the Capitals sponsored by Oscar Mayer.
Kuzy, who’s “so excited” to be playing hockey again, has apparently retired from playing video games – though I am personally very skeptical.
Evgeny Kuznetsov will be the Washington Capitals’ representative in an NHL20 tournament hosted by the National Hockey League. Entitled the NHL Player Gaming Challenge, Kuznetsov is one of 49 different players participating including former Capitals Filip Forsberg and Madison Bowey representing Nashville and Detroit respectively. The NFL’s Luke Wilson will represent the NHL’s new Seattle franchise.
NBC Sports will air the first series of games, including Calgary vs. Ottawa and Columbus vs. Winnipeg, beginning at 5 PM on NBCSN as part of its Hockey Happy Hour programming. Los Angeles Kings TV play-by-play announcer Alex Faust will host the series of weekly matchups, which will be released on Thursdays and Saturdays.
Fans can also follow along on social media, including the NHL’s Twitch page and YouTube.

Also, featured: Anthony Rendon in an Angels uniform. But let’s bury that until the end.
