Was it "one of the greatest plays in the history of the game?" Thomas Heath of the WaPo thinks so and everyone is still talking about it two days later. Which is good news, because I have nothing more to add about the Caps today.Speaking of you-know-who, a Rink GOTV drive is underway. Go here and vote "yes" to the current poll and make your voice heard.
Finally, if you needed another reason to love "The Goal," here it is: before it was scored, most in the hockey world considered this the goal of the year (though The Rink knew otherwise, and that Jason Spezza's overtime goal against the Habs was more deserving of that accolade).
In other news from around the hockey world:
