"Screenshot: @Capitals/X Spencer Carbery gave his tired players an early Christmas present after they defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-0 at Capital One Arena, Sunday. After giving shoutouts to the penalty killers; Rasmus Sandin and Connor McMichael for their huge shot blocks; Jakob Chychrun for scoring the game-winning goal; and Logan Thompson for reaching 100 victories - "Their guy was f***ing good, but our guy was f***ing better" - Carbery ended his speech with a reward that made the players absolutely lose their minds."
"Excited Capitals players got up out of their stalls - some shirtless and screaming while others were fully clothed and in disbelief - and came together in the middle of the locker room. They then began jumping in a happy group huddle, like school was just canceled due to snow. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" they chanted together. As the excitement began to dissipate somewhat, someone started singing the soccer chant ¡Olé! ¡Olé! ¡Olé! ¡Olé! ¡Olé! ¡Olé!"
An early Christmas present arrived as the Capitals secured a 2-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets and were awarded two days off. Shoutouts were given to penalty killers Rasmus Sandin and Connor McMichael for huge shot blocks, to Jakob Chychrun for the game-winning goal, and to Logan Thompson for reaching 100 victories. Praise for team identity and goaltending was delivered, followed by the announcement to enjoy two days off. Players erupted in celebration—some shirtless and screaming, others clothed—forming a jumping group huddle, chanting "Hey!" repeatedly and later joining a collective ¡Olé! chant with unified clapping.
