""He didn't outscore me in the game that whole year, and our last game together, we won the championship 6-2: he had four goals and I had two," Dylan recounted. "He definitely reminds me of that all the time.""
""The whole year, every team was, 'Watch out for Dylan, watch out for Dylan,'" Matt said Thursday morning. "Then, in the finals, I think they had two guys shadowing him. And I had four goals in that game, and he had two. That's one thing I don't let him live down.""
""It's special," Matt said. "I know it's just preseason, but to be wearing the same jersey as my brother, it's something I've wanted to do for a long time now. To get that chance in such a good organization that's been so huge for Dyl and I, it's just surreal.""
Dylan and Matt Strome will play together for the Capitals' second preseason game in Hershey, Pennsylvania. A childhood Mini Stanley Cup final ended 6-2 when four-year-old Matt scored four goals and six-year-old Dylan scored two, a result Matt frequently reminds Dylan of. Growing up in Mississauga, Ontario with eldest brother Ryan, the three boys developed rivalry and skills through constant play. Aliaksei and Ilya Protas will join the lineup, creating a sibling-heavy preseason roster. Wearing the same Capitals jersey represents a long-awaited, emotional milestone and a surreal moment in both brothers' hockey paths.
