Washington Capitals get fist pounds after a win

There's something about the below video post by the Washington Capitals official Twitter handle. 

Maybe it's the fact that players on skates tower over their 5-foot-9 coach Barry Trotz. Or maybe that from behind and in a suit Trotz looks like a super villain in celebrating with his team after a 3-1 win at Calgary.

Either way, there's often sort of a separation between coaches and the players, even in victory. And especially with a new coach, it takes a while for him to get ingrained within the culture of the room. 

Of course winning helps (Washington is 4-1-2) and Trotz has done quite a bit to align himself in a locker room that has chaffed under previous staffs. 

Not that an Instagram photo is worth a thousand words -- and we're going to know a lot more when Epix starts releasing its documentary on the Caps and the Winter Classic. 

But if anything, maybe Trotz is gaining the trust of his players? If not, at least he's got cool millennial-type greetings down.
