Rookie Liam O'Brien Is Pretty Awesome

Caps rookie center Liam O'Brien has only played 3 NHL games but he's already starting to get some notice from fans. O'Brien got into a fight in his first career NHL game (and the Caps opening game of the season) and during Tuesday's shootout loss to the Sharks had a rather interesting game in the 6 minutes he was on the ice.

Check out these two GIFs including a very funny tongue sticking out move:

Sharks Do Sharky Things To Caps

Washington Capitals 2, San Jose Sharks 5

The Sharks defeated the Caps on Saturday night by a score of 5-2 to end the Caps 4 game winning streak. When I was a kid my favorite team was the San Jose Sharks. I don't know if I even ever saw a Sharks game, but they were still my favorite team. I think I had a teal thing as the Hornets were my favorite NBA team...great story! According to the TV Broadcast the Caps haven't won in San Jose in like 400 years!

The highlight of the game was when a Sharks player plowed over Alex Semin. Alex O didn't like people messing with his friend so he tackled the guy and i think tried to bite his face off or something.

Vokoun faced 38 shots, letting in 4, and playing a lot of time behind the net so the Shaks couldn't score magically through the back of the net...

Next up for the Caps is the Kings on Monday night...Caps Sleepover on Twitter @TheDugsSports
