Vice President Joe Biden, Dr. Jill Biden and a monster-sized ice cream cone all went home happy with a 3-2 Philadelphia Flyers shootout win against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night.
T.J. Oshie, who apparently has never missed a shootout chance in his life, scored in the shootout for Washington. Jake Voracek scored for the Flyers to tie it, Wayne Simmonds gave Philadelphia the lead on their third shot attempt, and Steve Mason shut down Justin Williams on the final shot to give the good guys the victory.
The crowd of 20,011 was the largest regular-season home Flyers crowd in Wells Fargo Center history -- a weird record to break in December, but awesome nonetheless -- and they watched a completely even, very entertaining hockey game between two rivals sitting right next to each other in the Metropolitan Division standings.
