T.J. Oshie, a ‘special player’ for the Caps, looks revitalized after injury

The fan giveaway at Capital One Arena on Thursday was a red cowboy hat emblazoned with white stars and the Washington Capitals logo. On a night themed around country music, there was no other player than winger T.J. Oshie — whose goal song is “Take Me Home, Country Roads” — who could’ve scored a hat trick, causing dozens of those free cowboy hats to cascade onto the ice.
“For him to get a hat trick against his former team, lead the charge,” Carbery said, “[I’m] just really proud of him and happy for him that he gets rewarded tonight.”
Perhaps there was a little bit of magic at play for Oshie, who has missed 17 games this season with injuries — six games with a concussion he suffered Nov. 24 and 11 games with an upper-body injury that he suffered just four games into his return from the concussion.
I thought he looked great right before he got hurt too. He looked like he was skating faster. Glad he picked up where he left off. Was worried the injury was going to set him back
IM SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS HE IS THE HEART OF THE TEAM AND WASNT BAD BEFORE THE INJURY AND DOESNT NEED TO HANG THEM UP!!!!!!
Seriously I will accept the down votes but as an aging team with a BRAND NEW coach and system/philosoph and PRE ALL-STAR BREAK we are not in a bad spot, stop being spoiled cunts! Oshie is special, ovi is THE GOAT, Backi was special, Carlo is special, kuzi was special (admittedly fat and happy with his check), strome is having a career season, and our young guys are coming on and showing promise
Every year, 31 teams are losers. If you’re ready to pack it in for the season (fucking quitters) just start watching/routing for the record

Oshie’s hat trick, the sixth of his career and his fourth with Washington, led the Capitals to [a 5-2 win over the St. Louis Blues](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/01/18/capitals-blues-oshie-hat-trick/?itid=lk_inline_manual_4), Oshie’s former team. After the game, when Spencer Carbery presented Oshie with the pucks from his three goals, the Capitals coach produced them [from inside one of the cowboy hats](https://twitter.com/Capitals/status/1748187775994888611), like a magician pulling off a trick with a rabbit.
