Being on the road is never an easy thing to do as a team, but things get so much worse when you’re on the road and you can’t get any sleep. That’s the case for the Washington Capitals, who are on the road at the moment but were roused out of bed in the middle of the night thanks to a hotel fire alarm.
After beating the New York Islanders on Saturday afternoon, the Capitals traveled west to Philadelphia where they are to take on the Flyers. But between beating the Isles and dropping the puck against Philly, the Capitals had to endure the latest case of a sports team being awoken in the middle of the night thanks to someone pulling to tripping the fire alarms.
Alex Ovechkin captured the madness and passed it along to the world on his Instagram account this morning.
Of course, he wasn’t the only one to have captured the fire alarm chaos — which was less hectic and more confusing than anything. Marcus Johansson also took some video of the incident, which included a lot of flashing lights and men without pants on — which makes you wonder where the Capitals stay, exactly.
This isn’t the first time a fire alarm has been pulled on a team in the middle of the night and it won’t be the last. But the Capitals also don’t seem to phased by the fire alarm going off, which is made abundantly clear by the fact that the team is just chilling in the hallway — most of whom aren’t even wearing any pants.
