T.J. Oshie is one of the many celebrities - NHL players included - participating in the American Century Championship this weekend, so he kindly shared some “cup confessions,” which you can enjoy in the video above this post’s headline.
(You can also stream the grassy golf action here, as today’s fun is taking place on NBCSN. Apparently Joe Pavelski is off to one heck of a start. Oh, and he heard your mean playoff-themed golf jokes. Not nice.)
Oshie’s confessions get off to a bit of a tepid start - you’re not going to believe this, but many Washington Capitals didn’t sleep the night they won the Stanley Cup, quite shocking - yet things get better. Mainly when he’s ragging on Andre Burakovsky.
As someone who can’t grow a beard, allow some sympathy for the 23-year-old:
Anyway, it’s a fun video. If you’re more in the mood to cry than laugh, check out Oshie’s emotional comments about his father not long after winning the Stanley Cup.
The tournament is great for fans of sports stars young and old, and not just in hockey. You’ll notice names like Mark Rypien, Greg Maddux, Jarome Bettis, and Steph Curry. Sounds like fun.
Not a bad golf group, love these guys!! #acchampionship pic.twitter.com/G1F4gWu5i9

If you need more hockey to go with all that golf, here’s Oshie on winning the Stanley Cup.
