Tonight, the Washington Capitals defeated the New York Rangers in Game 7 of their first round series by a score of 2-1. Both teams put forth a strong effort but the Capitals would come out on top thanks to 39-year old veteran Sergei Fedorov. With about five minutes to go in the third period, Fedorov opened a time warp to 1997. His current self then traded places with his 27-year old persona from 12 years ago in front of a sellout crowd at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. Fedorov then went on to score the game winning goal for the Capitals, who won a Game 7 for only the second time in their franchise’s history (the first was in 1988, before anyone in Washington knew the Capitals existed). The following is video of tonight’s game winning goal.
