T.J. Oshie and Matt Niskanen took the Metro to Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals





At least two of the Capitals were feeling pretty loose, and friendly, before Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals.
T.J. Oshie and Matt Niskanen took the Metro to Capital One Arena for Saturday night’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights. Twitter users posted photos and videos of the players, along with what appears to be a one-man security escort, standing in a Metro car, then walking through the Gallery Place station.
“I noticed these two very tall gentlemen in suits. I looked over at them because I saw how tall they were, and I did a triple take,” Caps fan Dana Ziegler (on Twitter as @danadaniello) told The Post. “I couldn’t believe it. I said to my husband: ‘I think that’s T.J. Oshie and Matt Niskanen. What are they doing on the Metro?’ ”
In fact, it was the two Caps players. They boarded a red-line train at Metro Center and rode to Gallery Place.
“All the fans were very cool about it,” Ziegler said. “They didn’t go and crowd them too much, but there were a lot of well wishes.”
Her husband waved and shouted “Good luck!” to Oshie. The Washington winger waved back and said, “Thanks.”
At Gallery Place, the players were met by a Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority employee and led up the escalator toward the arena, Ziegler said.
Added Caps fan and fellow Metro rider Connor Wheeler: “I wasn’t on the same Metro as Oshie and Niskanen, but we ended up at the bottom of the escalators at the same time. They were with security but really friendly with fans and joking around with each other.”
“They were so calm,” Ziegler said. “They were smiling. They were really relaxed. I was shocked to see them among all the people on the Metro, but they were calm, cool and collected and ready to go. I think that’s a good sign. That might bode well for the game tonight.”
The street closures around Capital One Arena might be to blame/thank for Oshie and Niskanen’s ride over. The players’ parking tunnel at 6th and G streets is right in the teeth of some of those closures.
But on a warm day in the District, and in a train car full of red jerseys, it must have been a nice time for Oshie and Niskanen to stretch their legs.

Olivia Culpo Goes Clubbing Dressed Like a Sexy Taxi in a Yellow Minidress and Black Balenciaga Boots

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...

The 6 Biggest Health Benefits Of Turmeric

Here's What I Learned When I Gave Birth Without Meds, Twice

My first experience giving birth without meds was crazy. I cried, I swore, I yelled, I called for my mom. The second time, thanks to a hypnosis training, I went into a deep relaxation between contractions. To the point that my midwife thought I was sleepingand decided to take a nap while I was on the verge of delivery. While I experienced as much pain the second time as the first, my experience was very different. Instead of anxiously panicking (and wallowing in self-pity) at the thought of the next contraction, I completely stopped resisting. I rested instead of wasting my energy being anxious. It went by easier, smoother and much faster. This isn’t an article about physical pain, though.  I’m not saying you too should go  au naturel  when you give birth or shouldn’t get shots at the dentist (I definitely get numbed up at the dentist).  The problem I’m addressing is that we freak about our emotional pain the way we do about our phy...
