TJ Oshie may have hung up his skates this summer, but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s putting his time with the Washington Capitals behind him. During an interview with the \u201cSpittin\u2019 Chiclets\u201d podcast<\/a>, Oshie revealed that he\u2019ll work for the franchise part-time this season as he looks to transition into a television career.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to work on\u00a0a couple different things,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m hoping I get into some\u00a0broadcasts. I will be doing things with the Caps on a part-time basis. I want to be linked with\u00a0them for as long as I possibly\u00a0can, because I love the organization so much, them and\u00a0Monumental.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oshie played nine seasons for the Capitals before chronic back injuries ended his career, registering 385 points (192g, 193a) with the organization and winning the Stanley Cup in 2018. After undergoing stem-cell treatment last season<\/a> in hopes of returning to the ice, Oshie announced his retirement<\/a> in June before moving to Minnesota with his family<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Oshie didn\u2019t offer specifics of his position with the Capitals, he\u2019s already dipped his toes into a potential broadcasting career, appearing on ESPN as a guest analyst<\/a> during the Western Conference Final. He told host Paul Bissonnette, another NHL alumn who serves as an analyst on TNT, that he hopes to build on that opportunity in the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The ESPN appearance] was\u00a0fun,\u201d he said. \u201cI give so much more credit to you\u00a0guys that go on the broadcast with that thing in\u00a0your ear. It is like \u2014 first time I had it\u00a0in was right when we went live, and I\u00a0was like, \u2018What? I feel like I just hit someone\u00a0and lost my hearing in one ear.\u2019 It was nuts. It was so hard. But it is\u00a0fun\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cBut yeah, we\u2019ll see. I hope I\u2019m on\u00a0the broadcast for a couple games. I\u2019m not sure, Biz,\u00a0if it will be at your side (at TNT) or somewhere\u00a0else, but I do enjoy it and it\u2019s a way\u00a0for me to stay in the game. And I don\u2019t\u00a0have the time to commit to coaching, so. But\u00a0we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several of Oshie\u2019s former teammates have already joined Monumental Sports Network in retirement. Both Karl Alzner and Devante Smith-Pelly, another member of the 2018 Cup-winning team, serve as guest analysts on Monumental\u2019s pre and post-game shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TJ Oshie may have hung up his skates this summer, but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s putting his time…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":115350,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-115349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
