Washington Capitals fans know in these awards every vote counts.
One initiative the NHL has done to keep fans engaged during the novel coronavirus pandemic is by holding the NHL Fan Choice Awards. What does this mean for Washington Capitals fans? Well for one, they’ve been nominated in several different categories and their very own T.J. Oshie is in two of those categories.
Everyone across the NHL knows about the bromance of Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom but not everyone knows about the bromance of T.J. Oshie and Jakub Vrana, except for those of us in these parts. Oshie and Vrana were nominated for Best Bromance.
Oshie was also nominated for Best Pregame Ritual. We’ve all seen it where Oshie does a love tap with his stick to Tom Wilson while Willy goes behind him and does it right back.

It looked really weird the first time I’ve seen it. Now I look for it every warmup probably the way other fans have as well.
