You guys, Jakub Vrana turned on the jets to score… 😎… on the Jets!
V’s insanely fast breakaway goal gave him his 25th tally of the season – a new career-high.

Look at our young Czech child. Vrana skated a loose puck out of the Capitals defensive zone, split the Jets’ D, and beat Jets goaltender Laurent Brossoit on his forehand. He was skating approximately 9,000,000 MPH.
It was a big goal and an even bigger celebration. The goal gave the Caps a 2-0 lead early in the first period.

In the crowd, NBC Sports Washington cameras captured this dad and son celebrating and I hope this is me one day.

Vrana scored 24 goals and 47 points in a breakout season last year. V now has 25 goals and 51 points this year. He’s still got nearly 20 more games to add to that total and maybe hit 30 goals for the first time in his career.
