ANALYSIS/OPINION:
It was a Monday night in November at Capital One Arena, a contest on the ice between the Washington Capitals and Anaheim Ducks — not exactly the ingredients for a dramatic evening.
But at the end of the second period, those in attendance were treated to wild scene that included a sighting of that rarest of sports phenomena — the magic loogie.
The score was 2-0 in a hard-fought game between the Capitals and the Ducks when Anaheim’s Brendan Guhle tripped up Washington’s Brendan Leipsic.
Leipsic — a human bowling bowl — was not going to let this aggression stand.
