NBA, NHL, it doesn't matter. Paul Pierce just loves to get into the head of other athletes. During tonight's Game 7 contest between the New York Islanders and Washington Capitals at the Verizon Center, Pierce was spotted rocking the red Capitals jersey—just in case he needed to get on the ice for a quick minute to stir the pot a bit—sitting alongside Wizards teammates Marcin Gortat, Rasual Butler and John Wall, banging on the glass and trying his best to get the Islanders off their game.

So far, Pierce's presence has worked as the Capitals lead 1-0 going into the third period. If this game ends up working out in Washington's favor, thank him later.
