Flew to LA a few years ago on a whim to see the Caps and Kings. Invited a friend that’s never been to a hockey game. LA was up three going into the third and friend suggested we go get some dinner. I said no way, game is NOT over. Caps ended up losing in OT.
Miss those days. Nice we got a glimpse of it.
Blast from the past. Fleischmann, Semin, Nylander, Gordon the goal scorers.
That Semin snipe was utterly nuts and probably my favorite goal of his. Thanks for posting this. I remember watching this one but hadn’t seen the highlights for a while.
I remember brads (Matt Bradley) getting dropped in that game/fight but was that biz serving him that punishment?
