In a situation that is eerily similar to “the magical spit,” Capitals player Brooks Orpik was nailed by a full beer during the team’s postgame celebration.
The New York Islanders lost a tough one at the Nassau Coliseum yesterday, giving up a cheap overtime goal to Nicklas Backstrom.

That is why the actual beer being thrown is the least surprising thing to happen in the 2015 NHL Playoffs. As previously established, hockey fans are crazy and the supporters out on the island just happen to occupy a distinct level of that craziness. And this comes from an Islander fan.
