TJ Oshie retired in June after nine seasons with the Washington Capitals because of chronic back injuries and an unsuccessful comeback following stem-cell treatment. He recorded 385 points (192 goals, 193 assists) with the Capitals and won the Stanley Cup in 2018. Oshie plans to stay linked to the Capitals on a part-time basis while transitioning into television broadcasting. He appeared as a guest analyst on ESPN during the Western Conference Final and hopes to expand broadcast opportunities in the 2025–26 season. Oshie moved to Minnesota with his family and says he does not have time to commit to coaching.
[The ESPN appearance] was fun," he said. "I give so much more credit to you guys that go on the broadcast with that thing in your ear. It is like - first time I had it in was right when we went live, and I was like, 'What? I feel like I just hit someone and lost my hearing in one ear.' It was nuts. It was so hard. But it is fun...
But yeah, we'll see. I hope I'm on the broadcast for a couple games. I'm not sure, Biz, if it will be at your side (at TNT) or somewhere else, but I do enjoy it and it's a way for me to stay in the game. And I don't have the time to commit to coaching, so. But we'll see.
