Washington Capitals star Logan Thompson had an excuse for giving up a bit of a soft goal on Tuesday night ... but, warning, it's pretty cheesy!!!
In the third period of the Caps' tilt with the Oilers in Edmonton, Corey Perry snuck one by Thompson's right shoulder to make the game 3-2 ... but immediately after the score, the goalie argued it shouldn't count.
Thompson pointed at a plate of nachos that had been chucked onto the ice just seconds before Perry unloaded a slap shot -- making it clear the queso bites distracted him.
