Nicklas Backstrom scored 11:09 into overtime on Tuesday night to send the Washington Capitals out of Nassau Coliseum with a 2-2 series tie with the New York Islanders.
As the Caps celebrated, one fan in the stands decided to give Washington defenseman Brooks Orpik a parting gift – a cup of beer to the face.
Now, this is over 10 minutes into overtime – who’s still nursing that much beer at that point in the game, after what we can only assume was a third period beer cutoff?
In fainess to the Islanders fan we assume threw the cup, he or she might have been trying to give Orpik something to wipe the asbestos off his face.
Alas, the Vine ends before we can see if Orpik delivers a head shot to the empty cup. As far as things hitting Orpik in the face this game, he's seen worse.
Orpik took teammate John Carlson's skate to his face but returned to the game in the second period. Because that's what Brooks Orpik does. (Via RMNB)
