Erik Karlsson And Mike Green Hug Amid The On-Ice Chaos
This was from Tuesday, but it's still as cute as it was two days ago. While Mikhail Grabovski and Zack Smith tried to rip each other's faces off during the Senators-Capitals game, Ottawa's Erik Karlsson and Washington's Mike Green shared a lovely moment. (Wait for the last replay.)...
