Troy Brouwer is your hero. After Alex Ovechkin’s stick got slashed out of his hands, Brouwer, in the slot, just skated in a circle and fired blindly on net.

He scored!

Take a look at Ovechkin. He goes from “Where’s the call, ref?” to 60 feet in the air in under a second.

After the game, Brouwer said that he believed the shot handcuffed Corey Crawford.

The Caps are undefeated in the Winter Classic and the Brouwer Rangers got to see their hero score the biggest goal of his life.
