On Sunday night the Toronto Maple Leafs and Washington Capitals went to a shootout. During his attempt, Evgeny Kuznetsov came in so calm he decided to celebrate before he even shot the puck.
Kuznetsov picked up the puck and as he was coming down slowly he twirled his stick like he had already scored. He then went in an faked out the goalie and skated away like it was another day at the office.
The Capitals ended up losing but it doesn't make what Kuznetsov did any less cool or disrespectful.
