Oshie pays it all back in Game 4

District commuter and world-class hockey player T.J. Oshie had a problem Monday that a lot of Metro riders can relate to: his fare card only had 35 cents left on it.

Luckily for him — he had to get to work at Capital One Arena later that night, after all — Metro workers at Gallery Place cut him a break: they let Oshie pass through for free.

“Metro, I’m not sure exactly how much that ride was, but I owe ya,” said Oshie, who has now taken the train to two straight games after admitting he had never ridden Metro previously.
