Watch Alex Ovechkin Win Shootout Vs. Rangers After Goalie Throws Stick
Today in “things you can’t do”: New York Rangers goalie Alexandar Georgiev found out the hard way that a hockey stick does not double as a projectile.
Knotted up after overtime, the Rangers and the Washington Capitals were headed for a shootout Sunday afternoon, and Alex Ovechkin had a chance to clinch the victory.
Ovechkin got Georgiev a little off balance with a move to his forehand. Georgiev’s response? Throw his stick at the puck, preventing Ovechkin from getting a shot off.

You can’t do that.
Ovechkin was awarded the goal, the Capitals took a 3-2 victory at Madison Square Garden and we all got to see something that you certainly don’t see every day. Everyone wins — well, except the Rangers and Georgiev. They lost. You get it.
