@BizNasty2point0 I love how Sid was laughing when Ovi was pretending to check him. 🤣

😂😂😂 “give me one”

@TriesHardState @sammisilber @kelsey_surmacz4 Haha I just said that about Sid! Damnit Sid, don’t make me like you!😄

@sammisilber @kelsey_surmacz4 I can’t stand this guy for making me like him a little

Ovechkin said he waved off the Penguins for a final handshake because he hasn’t decided on his NHL future yet. “I don’t decide yet. Thanks to them to wait out there.” Said he was going to see Crosby and Malkin afterward, anyway.

@haarumphh @penguins You underestimate Caps fans. We have great respect for Sid and his talents!

A #Gr8 showing of respect.

@Capitals I hope Ovi texted Sid to explain why he didn’t want them to make a fuss. He’s been saying all along that he didn’t want a “farewell tour”, plus he hasn’t really decided what he’ll do. I sure hope he comes back next year. That will give me a whole season to emotionally prepare😄

with all due respect

@FatouSadio I hope you’re right!!

Ovi is very unserious in this fit. He’s not retiring yet.

@Avalanche @frank_seravalli Oh man that is scary!! I wish Coach a fast and full recovery

Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar will not accompany the team on their upcoming two-game road trip due to facial fractures and a corneal abrasion. He will not require surgery at this time and is expected to make a full recovery. Avalanche assistant coaches Nolan Pratt and Dave Hakstol will coach the team in Edmonton and Calgary.

@SergeyKocharov @KDavies07 It was beautiful! 🥹

Huge credit & thx to @KDavies07, Alexandra Nolen, and the entire ESPN team for bringing this idea to life over the past month & making this feature possible. And a sincere thx to all the amazing participants who traveled to DC to be part of such a powerful and emotional piece.

@BrittanyinTexas I’m with you! How the hell can you be such a lowlife scum to go after the Pope?! I’m not even catholic and I know this!!

I’m in. You in?

@Capitals I’m so glad he insisted it was over the line!

THAT'S A GOOD LENO GOAL

@BarstoolNate I agree. That was fantastic. And I cried like a baby.

I hope the full pregame Ovi video is posted online. It should win awards. Whoever produced that take a bow. Waterworks city.

@OneNerdyOpinion That’s great! 😃

Bonus picture

You know what time it is? That’s right! Time for another edition of How I Slept Today

@Capitals @Kia Wow that’s a great suit and tie combo!

Masterful suit selection by Marty here #ALLCAPS | @Kia

@katieEadler @rmnb I just can’t 😭😭

Spencer Carbery on his approach to what could be Alex Ovechkin's final NHL games:

@NoLieWithBTC He wants to burn it all down

@grantpaulsen I smile every time I see this! What a fun moment. Luv these guys!

There is no better video on the internet today. Puppies can try again tomorrow. Kittens have a day this weekend. This video wins the day today.

@Capitals I adore this video on the bench!😍

😭

Hutson was supposed to let Lil Pro get that pass for the ENG! 😱

@jkamckenzie @TheAthletic That must be so scary for him, but even worse is probably the pressure he puts on himself so he doesn’t “let others down”. I hope he takes all the time he needs.

“I am broken, and I’m still not fully, completely healed,” Linus Ullmark opens up about his difficult season, why he wasn’t available for a game against the Lightning earlier this year, and being Ottawa’s nominee for the Masterton Trophy. @TheAthletic nytimes.com/athletic/71759…

@clmok2 @Chris__X__ We would always do this too, but we would keep both “heels” until the end and then my mom and I would both get one toasted with butter for dunking!🥰

@Chris__X__ Nooooo…that first slice of bread - and coincidentally, the last as well - makes the absolute best dunkin’ toast for coffee or hot cocoa! Slathered in butter and dunked in hot brown liquid! 🤤

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the rule of thumb is that the first piece of bread stays in the bag until it meets the last slice of bread...

@KCash44 @Chris__X__ Oh he’s cute!!!

@Chris__X__ The first slice of bread aka “the heel” is always reserved for this guy 👇
