The Washington Capitals had to hold on for a 3-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night despite Logan Thompson allowing a third-period goal due to distraction from nachos.
Thompson told reporters after the game a tray of cheese-covered nachos thrown onto the ice diverted his attention when Corey Perry scored a goal.
"I've never seen that before. Obviously, I've got to play to the whistle. That one's on me," said Thompson.
Greg Wyshynski @wyshynskiOK this is a new one: Logan Thompson was yelling at the refs after Corey Perry's goal because a fan had thrown a tray of nachos on the ice.
