Washington Capitals Absolutely Devoured the Maple Leafs (And Their Post-Game Vibes Hit Different)

No cap, the Washington Capitals just served the Toronto Maple Leafs a proper reality check with a 4-2 victory at Capital One Arena, and honestly? The locker room celebration afterward was giving main character energy fr fr.

This W marks the Caps’ sixth win in their last seven games, which is lowkey impressive but also makes you wonder where this energy was earlier in the season 👀 [LINK: nhl-game-recaps]

Spencer Carbery and Rasmus Sandin Really Understood the Assignment

But here’s where it gets spicy - inside the victorious Capitals locker room, the team straight up serenaded head coach Spencer Carbery and Rasmus Sandin with “We want you, baby. ” I’m sorry, WHAT?

This is either the most wholesome thing ever or someone’s gonna need to explain the context because that’s… a choice. Either way, Spencer Carbery is clearly doing something right if his players are singing love songs at him after wins.

The Maple Leafs Really Said “Let’s Disappoint Our Fans Again”

Meanwhile, the Toronto Maple Leafs are out here doing what they do best - being the Toronto Maple Leafs. Like bestie, you had ONE job and you fumbled it against a team that’s been inconsistent all season?

The math ain’t mathing.

The 4-2 loss puts Toronto in another one of those “we need to figure it out” situations that Leafs fans know all too well. It’s giving groundhog day vibes, and not in a cute way [LINK: maple-leafs-news].

This Capitals Win Streak is Actually Kinda Sus (In a Good Way)

Six wins in seven games for Washington is actually lowkey fire, but where was this energy when we needed it? The Capitals really said “oh you thought we were done? ” and started playing like they remembered they’re supposed to be good at hockey.

Rasmus Sandin getting the serenade treatment suggests he’s been putting in WORK, and honestly good for him. Man deserves his flowers (and apparently his teammates singing at him).

The Capital One Arena crowd was probably eating this up because nothing hits like a good old-fashioned Leafs loss, especially when your team is the one serving it.

Bottomline: Caps won, Leafs lost, and somewhere in DC there’s a locker room full of grown men singing love songs.
