After sweeping the Toronto Raptors, Wizards players, Marcin Gortat, Paul Pierce, Rasual Butler and John Wall were all sitting on the ice for the Washington Capitals’ Game 7 against the New York Islanders.
As you can see above, Pierce didn’t have any problem banging on the glass like an Ontario native after one too many Labatt Blues. Pierce has reveled in his role as the villain this postseason, mocking Raptors global ambassador Drake and the Toronto crowd during his team’s first-round sweep.
Besides banging on the plexiglass, Pierce also implored the Verizon Center crowd for more noise.

We’re primarily happy Rasual Butler joined the group, since his second chance story has been one of our favorites this NBA season.
We’re not sure if it was the Wizards in attendance, or something else — we don’t know anything about hockey except that it’s incredible when you’re watching in person — but the Capitals moved on with a 2-1 win in Game 7. Here’s hoping Pierce and his cronies attend more games as they await the winner of the suddenly close Brooklyn-Atlanta series knotted at two games each.
