The Capitals and their individual goal songs are a thing this season, as most players picked a song to play after they score goals. Radko Gudas hasn’t picked one yet, saying that he was waiting to actually score a goal before he decided. That happened tonight and the default goal song played instead of one selected by Gudas.
As for Nic Dowd, who scored an empty net short-handed goal toward the end of the game to seal the Caps’ 3-1 win, he does have a goal song. He just needed a reminder when I asked.
“I’m blanking right now. Sergey, what’s my goal song? By Paul Simon.”
“You can call me Al,” I said.
“Yeah! You can call me Al.”
It was Dowd’s third goal of the season and second at home, also his first since Oct. 20.
