Johnson’s post-goal ‘Tebow’ doesn’t sit well with Capitals

[madinmaryland]

Things already weren’t going well for the Capitals when the Kings broke up ice for a three-on-one early in the third period. Jack Johnson rifled a one-timer past Tomas Vokoun to put Los Angeles up 3-1 in the eventual 5-2 Capitals’ loss but it was the defenseman’s celebration that drew all the attention.

As Johnson turned up ice, he “Tebowed” along the half-board wall. I’ll let the Kings’ blueliner explain why.

“I was watching the Broncos’ game with some buddies that flew in from Michigan and they said ‘If you score, you have to ‘Tebow,’ ” Johnson said. “I said, ‘You’re on.’ ”

So after Johnson’s shot crossed the goal line he made good on his promise. The Capitals let him know that they weren’t particularly thrilled by his celebration.

1. I'm so frustrated w/ Streak for the Cash

After blowing the early morning soccer game I got the UConn pick right, by beating West Virginia. The second night in a row I picked the favorite hockey team only for them to lose. I picked the Caps in this match, the night before I picked the Philadelphia Flyers and they blew a 4-0 lead. I really need that $50,000!!!!
