"Wilson, who memorably took a pie to the face from Alex Ovechkin after his first career NHL goal, has continued the tradition with several Capitals rookies over the years. That experience has seemingly helped his aim."
"Hutson told reporters Wednesday morning that he "couldn't be more nervous" about making his NHL debut, and that carried through to his first shift as one of the Capitals' starters. "I was so scared," he said. "I just wanted to get out there and get off as fast as possible, but we had them in the O-zone, so couldn't really change.""
"He stuffed it in my nose," Hutson said, using the edges of the towel to wipe himself off. Hutson got most of the shaving cream off his face, but his shirt took the brunt of the hit and remained covered in the stuff for the rest of his interview."
