Top 3 moments of T.J. Oshie's time with the Capitals

#2 Hat trick revenge game

Yes this may have well been called his best hat tricks but when I think of Oshie I think of these nitty and gritty type of goals. Oshie goes hard in the paint sort of speak and isn't afraid to drive to the net and crash it. He's a lightning rod and after spending the first half of his career in St. Louis, he etched himself in Capitals lore forever with a hat trick against his ex team earlier this season.

Oshie talked about his trade from the Blues with Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental. I highly recommend the read as it gives an oral history with Oshie himself along with Capitals brass from that 2015 summer day when the Capitals traded for Oshie.

Everyone was happy. Even the folks who executed the trade. Long story short it took T.J. a little bit of time to adjust to the news but considered it a badge of honor to even be wanted by the Capitals. I won't quote things as I highly recommend the read but it is one heck of a story. We all remember where we were when that trade happened.
