": Alan Dobbins/RMNB WASHINGTON, DC In the biggest Logan Thompson news of the day, the Capitals' starting goaltender has chosen a goal song. Thompson, now playing his second season in Washington, has selected Olivia Dean's pop hit Man I Need for his signature tune, as shown on the Capital One Arena scoreboard during warmups on Wednesday. Capitals players have been able to choose their own goal songs since the 2019-20 season, but Thompson had thus far gone without one."
"Meanwhile, Thompson's goaltending partner Charlie Lindgren has long had Toby Keith's Should've Been a Cowboy as his pick. Thompson has been one of the Capitals' best players this season, with a league-leading 22.9 goals saved above expected, a .915 save percentage, and a 2.33 goals-against average. He and teammate Tom Wilson (who made the excellent choice of Boom by Tiesto as his celebratory song) were both named to Team Canada's Olympic roster on Wednesday afternoon."
Logan Thompson chose Olivia Dean's pop hit "Man I Need" as his goal song, displayed on the Capital One Arena scoreboard during warmups. Capitals players have been allowed to select personal goal songs since the 2019-20 season, and Thompson had not previously picked one. Charlie Lindgren uses Toby Keith's "Should've Been a Cowboy" and drew crowd chants after a key stop. Only 17 NHL goaltenders have ever scored a goal, and no Capitals goaltender has done so; the team conceded Ron Hextall's playoff goal on April 11, 1989. Thompson ranks among the team's best this season with strong advanced and traditional goaltending metrics, and he and Tom Wilson were named to Team Canada's Olympic roster.
