Can I Bribe You With A Beautiful Goal To Get You To Read A Short Blog About The Capitals' Playoff Chances?
You’ll see Andre Burakovsky’s goal being referred to as a goal of the year candidate, because A) it was very pretty, and B) hockey writers have a distinct lack of pithy descriptors for really good goals.
