Spurned by Lady Luck: Matt Moulson’s Fluke Goal Beats Neuvirth

“What is this doing here?”

Halfway through the first period of Tuesday’s Capitals-Islanders game, Matt Moulson sent a shot towards Michal Neuvirth‘s net. Neuvy got his blocker on it — sending the puck flying into the glass.

That should’ve been the end of that, but the puck bounced back over the net, as if being guided by Satan himself, and deflected off Neuvirth’s erogenous zone before going in the net.

Mobile-friendly version.

Not sure what exactly we did to spurn the hockey gods, but we apologize for it. Please accept this picture of Tom Hanks on a swing as penance.
