Which team do you associate TJ Oshie with more?

[ViD]

He played a bit more with Washington, but had his highest scoring seasons with St Louis

 

[895]

I’m pretty sure even the blues fans will let us have this one

 

[GRob83]

His best goal scoring and points per game seasons were with the Capitals and he won a Cup with them? Why is this even a poll?

 

[sbhnur]

He was cool with St. Louis and became a Cap unfortunately. I remember him as a Capitals player for sure.

 

[JaegerDice]

When I envision him in my head, it’s always in a Blues sweater.

But I admit I have no logical reason for that. I imagine most people think of him as a Cap

 

[Summer Rose]

When I envision him in my head, it's always in a USA sweater taking multiple shots in the shootout in 2014 against Russia, and scoring on most of them. Also for some reason I was misremembering that game in my head as a quarterfinal, but it was actually a round-robin game when I just looked it up.

To answer the question posed by the thread, it's the Capitals for me.

Exactly my thoughts.

He also only ever did this in Washington, which is how he will be remembered the most ultimately.

 

[um]

Here are the playoff stats:

GP-G-A-P
STL: 30-5-4-9
WSH: 76-29-31-60

Oshie played in St. Louis and left his mark in Washington.

For one game though? His international career is pretty slim.

That shootout performance was legendary, I came to post USA as well.

Between NHL franchises, Washington because of the Cup win.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Blues. For some reason, it still feels weird to me he is in Washington.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Blues for me

I would watch him play way more often when he was in the Central division and now he's out East I rarely see him.

 

[SkinsFan09]

Blues for me

I would watch him play way more often when he was in the Central division and now he's out East I rarely see him.

You rarely see him because he's on LTIR and effectively retired lol.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

When i think about TJ i see him in a blues shirt which is weird

 

[DatDude44]

Nationally I’m gonna assume it’s moreso Washington. As a Blues fan who grew up in STL, my dad had season tickets from 2006-2020. I was just going to into highschool when Oshie arrived and brought in a crazy amount of excitement and hope to the team. We made playoffs for the first time post lockout that year and I’ll never forget chanting his name after the last game of the season. To me he will always be remembered as a Blue. But he certainly accomplished more as a cap.

Over his career as a Capital, smartass

 

[Rockomax]

I don't care for either team, but I'd say St. Louis. I tend to associate players to the team that drafted the player if he does play for them for a while.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Bruins fan...Blues for me

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Blues

 

[max21]

His career took off in Washington, won a cup there, and became a fan favorite staple/core player. It’s easily Washington.

 

[The Nuge]

I’m yet another non Caps fan who will always remember his as a parts of the Blues. Caps fans are right in that he SHOULD be remembered as part of their team, but for whatever reason, it just isn’t that way for me (and apparently a lot of others in this thread)

 

[psycat]

Id argue his shootout vs Russia is the single most defining point of his career, could hardly name half of caps cup winning roster(or USAs vs Russia for that matter).

 

[End of Line]

Team USA


As for the poll it’s the Caps
