You see their name and the type of car they’re driving, so you spend the next few minutes eyeballing traffic trying to figure out which side of the street your driver will be on. Suddenly, a car stops, and the color looks similar, so you start walking toward it, open the door and hop in, expecting to being your journey.

The only problem, as Andre Burakovsky of the Washington Capitals found out over the weekend, is that sometimes a car is just a car and not the Uber ride you ordered.
But all was not lost for Burakovsky, who was looking for a ride to a local Top Golf as the Capitals started their bye week. While the fine gentlemen inside the car didn’t believe him at first, they eventually realized who their new passenger was and were kind enough to give the forward a lift.
Hopefully Burakovsky managed to have a good time despite his bum paw.
