"Just to be a part of it and to be in the celebration and the aftermath of it and basically getting to celebrate twice because when he tied the record on Thursday... [We were] partying for two days and then Sunday in New York. I don't think anyone remembers the score of that game, we just remember the fun that we had."
"You would be surprised how many people just come up to you randomly and say, 'Congratulations on that assist,' I think it was great, but it was a chintzy secondary assist on the power play where I passed it out to Tom [Wilson]."
Dylan Strome skated out of the Washington Capitals' zone on a second-period power play and delivered a cross-ice pass to Tom Wilson, who found Alex Ovechkin for his 895th career goal. Strome describes the assist as a chintzy secondary play but acknowledges being frequently congratulated by fans and reminders via social media. He enjoyed the celebration, noting a double celebration when Ovechkin tied the record earlier and then broke it, and recalls that the moment felt like the crescendo of the season despite the Capitals losing the game 4-1.
