Like a Bar Band, but Much, Much Worse

The Washington Capitals filmed a special video treat for their season opener at a Virginia club last night. And judging from the footage on YouTube, at least one guy in the audience was enjoying himself.

All of the videos are kind of crappy, but don’t worry—they’re much better than the band. That’s a heavily-gelled Ovechkin bellowing into the microphone. A rhythmically-challenged Mike Green on drums. Jose Theodore played guitar. So did Alexander Semin, and Nicklas Backstrom. Brooks Laich played bass.

Matt Bradley and Donald Brashear dressed up as security.

And for a reason that will someday become clear, James Duthie was the MC.

I thought TSN had spent all that money hooping CBC for the Hockey Night in Canada theme…..
