Tuesday goal of the night

I don't know why smelly Russians putting hard, rubber objects into tight spaces fascinates me so, but it's probably for the best given that I'm such a hockey fan. The Washington Capitals beat the Philadelphia Flyers last night 4-2 in a stunning come-from-behind win that my sister apparently watched from the third row. Lucky bitch. Anyway, less than 4 minutes after falling behind 2-0, the Caps stormed back to tie the game at 2. Just over 5 minutes into the third, Alexander Semin (short e, sickos) scored the game-winner on a beautiful wrist shot. Well, it looked beautiful on the replay. That'll teach me to look at porn while I'm watching a hockey game. Semin's goal is at 4:56 of the following highlight. Though the NHL chose to highlight Alexander Ovechkin's goal because, well, he's Alexander Ovechkin, trust me when the shocked look on Flyers goalie Ray Emery at about 5:11 is because Semin fired a wrist shot between the defenseman's legs and over Emery's shoulder. That was a no chancer.
