#5 Brenden Dillon

Coming in our list at number five is the newcomer Brenden Dillon. He may have only been in D.C. for a few weeks but Dillon makes this list simply because of his killer dance moves as we saw the other day on the popular app TikTok.

Many athletes have taken to TikTok to post dance challenges including Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards from a local sports standpoint. Brenden Dillon and his wife posted a video the other day partaking in the “Dip and Lean” challenge.

Being in quarantine with Brendan Dillon means countless hours on TikTok having fun. It’ll be a great way to pass the time as we wait for hockey to resume.

Dillon has played in 10 games and hasn’t recorded a point on the offensive end but he won the fans over in a brawl with Evgeni Malkin when the Caps took on the Pittsburgh Penguins in late February.

In an interview with Brodie Brazil of NBC Sports Bay Area, Dillon talked about how his disdain for Pittsburgh began when he was a member of the San Jose Sharks.

"“[The Capitals] obviously have a lot of history with Pittsburgh and being in the same division. Guys were trying to give me a rundown, like hey this is a big game, these ones are usually physical, it’s a big rivalry. And I was like, OK, this is my kind of game, you know? A lot of skating and physicality and it just happened to be Malkin. I mean, it could have been anybody who was kind of jamming at the goalie. Next thing you know, it was kind of gloves off.”"
