The Washington Nationals got to experience a rare thing during Sunday’s game at Capital One Arena: a hat trick.
After Jakub Vrana scored his first career hatty in the second period against the Flames, the Nationals, who were already drinking after every goal, had an epic celebration in the stands.
Adam Eaton, who was was at ice level to be honored by the crowd, threw at least five Capitals hats that had already been collected back onto the ice.

It’s unclear if they actually made it to the ice or not but it’s the thought – and enthusiasm – that counts.
