The Washington Capitals have had many memorable goals in their history. Today we’ll look at what I believe are my top 25. Obviously this is my all time list and I may miss a couple that fans will let me know about. That’s why these things are fun.
Anyway let’s have a crack at it. Obviously the historic ones were the easy ones. It was when it got higher where it got tricky.
#25 Troy Brouwer Winter Classic goal
We start the countdown with Troy Brouwer’s 2015 Winter Classic goal. In a back and fourth game between the Capitals and the Chicago Blackhawks the game looked like it was heading for overtime.
Alex Ovechkin got a shot off but lost his stick and threw his hands up but the puck wounded up at Troy Brouwer’s stick and he put it in. It came while the Capitals were on the power play and sent the crowd of over 42,000 at Nationals Park into a frenzy.
This was the first time the Capitals hosted an outdoor game and many consider it one of the best Winter Classics of all time. It was by far the best game I’ve ever gone to.
