Snaps From Seattle's 3-0 Shutout of Vegas on New Year's Day

All day long we're featuring photo albums sorted by subject from Monday's Winter Classic. Previously, we spotlighted goalie Joey Daccord, action photos, T-Mobile Park, and entertainment.

Our final album is a few photos which cried out for captions.

Editor's Note: All photos were taken by Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports.

Brandon Tanev: "Guys, I don't care what you say, this is NOT a regulation helmet!"

TFW Andre Burakovsky finds out this is not a SKIING practice.

Oliver Bjorkstrand: "There's plenty of eye black, you said. I'll leave you some eye black, you said. If you hadn't used the last of the eye black on your elbows, there would have been some left for me."

Dave Hakstol: "The Winter Classic - that's today? Are you sure? Because I bought theater tickets, and they're not refundable."

You yell out to the kids over and over, "Come in from the rink, mom and dad's favorite band, 'Heart,' is performing." But do they listen?

Yanni Gourde (37): "I don't know, Joey. Mabye putting extra-strength Velcro on the outside of our helmets wasn't such a smart idea."

"For it's one-two-three goals you're out at the hoc-key game."
