As the first period of Game 4 between the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals was winding down, John Carlson hit Scott Laughton. Thanks to the speed and angle at which Laughton was going, we were left with a terrifying result: Laughton lying motionless on the ice for an extended period of time, before being stretchered…
Hahahahaha, Team North America’s top power play unit is ridiculously unfair. And it’s the best one Shayne Gostisbehere’s ever played on — sorry, Flyers.
