Capitals’ Logan Thompson Gives Up Goal, Blames Nacho-Throwing Fan

Washington Capitals star Logan Thompson had an excuse for giving up a little bit of a mushy aim on Tuesday evening … however, warning, it is fairly tacky!!!

Within the third interval of the Caps’ tilt with the Oilers in Edmonton, Corey Perry snuck one by Thompson’s proper shoulder to make the sport 3-2 … however instantly after the rating, the goalie argued it should not depend.

Thompson pointed at a plate of nachos that had been chucked onto the ice simply seconds earlier than Perry unloaded a slap shot — making it clear the queso bites distracted him.

The refs, although, noticed issues otherwise … and allowed the aim — a lot to Thompson’s dismay.

Someway, Thompson and the Capitals saved their cool and held on to win … however afterward, the 27-year-old was fairly miffed over the scenario.

“I’ve never seen that before,” he stated … earlier than including, “Obviously, I’ve got to play to the whistle. That one’s on me.”

Thompson’s coach, Spencer Carbery, had some comparable emotions on the matter … although he was no less than capable of chortle off the incident.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a nachos-on-the-ice National Hockey League game,” he stated. “Did they save them? Maybe we can bring them into the locker room.”

FYI, NHL guidelines state play ought to be stopped if objects are thrown onto the ice throughout play … however provided that they have an effect on “progress of the game.” Perry stated after he “didn’t even see” the fan’s dinner earlier than he shot the puck … so the motion carried on.
