Pic of the DayDefense man Shaone Morrisonn scored the overtime goal against the New York Rangers on December 23rd, 2008, the same day as his 26th birthday.
On December 23rd, 2008, the Capitals played the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden in New York City. In the first period, the Rangers were leading 4-0, but the Capitals did not lose hope. Alex Ovechkin scored in the second period to start off the scoring. Tomas Fleischmann and Viktor Kozlov both scored in the third period along with Alex Ovechkin again, to tie it at 4-4. The game went into overtime, and 59 seconds in, Shaone Morrisonn scored the winning goal. Ironically enough, it was also Morrisonn's 26th birthday! What a great present to himself and the whole team! Well done, Caps! This just shows that you can't lose hope in your team, and that anything is possible in the world of hockey.
Here are Alex Ovechkin's comments on this game: "They stopped playing hockey, they probably believed 4-0 they'd win the game. They tried to play conservative, but we play a different way. We play a hard, physical game and take lots of shots. You see the results."
Merry Christmas!
