The Washington Capitals will face the Utah Hockey Club on Super Bowl Sunday, coinciding with the Kansas City Chiefs' attempt at a historic NFL three-peat against the Philadelphia Eagles. In a social media segment, Capitals players shared their Super Bowl predictions, with notable responses like Alex Ovechkin declaring support for Philly and Tom Wilson abstaining to avoid cheering for the rival team. Ultimately, a majority of players favored the Eagles, while others backed the Chiefs, reflecting lighthearted team dynamics ahead of the big game.
In the end, eleven Capitals players picked the Eagles, seven players picked the Chiefs, Alex Alexeyev picked the Commanders, and their fearless head coach picked a meteor.
Alex Ovechkin had no such problem as Tom. "Let's go, Philly," he said.
Tom Wilson, perhaps because he's a Commanders fan or because of the Capitals' rivalry with the Flyers, wouldn't participate, saying "I'm not cheering for Philly, like...".
Spencer Carbery gave what many might feel is the 'correct' answer by telling the camera, "Oh, I'm not a huge fan of either team."
