What Brandon Duhaime Brings to the Capitals: Grit, Fighting and Practical Jokes

During their myriad of off-season moves, the Capitals picked up American winger Brandon Duhaime, who is on a two-year, $1.85M AAV contract. While he is sure to bring grit to the Caps, he’ll certainly bring humor, especially if he gets into a practical joke war with any of his teammates the way he did with Wild teammate Marc-Andre Fleury.

It started when Duhaime said Minnesota teammate Fleury was 50 years old in an interview (Fleury is actually only 39 years old). So as every mature hockey player does, Fleury decided to steal Duhaime’s clothes and shoes one day.
