Sometimes, a picture is not worth a thousand words. Every once in a while, a picture can't do justice to what was, hands down, one of the most beautiful goals any Flyers fan will see all season.
With under a minute remaining in the first period of last night's Flyers/Capitals game and the Flyers killing a penalty, rookie Jeff Carter stole the puck from Caps rookie sensation Alexander Ovechkin at the blue line. He flew past defenseman Jamie Heward and raced down the left side. Carter deked around defenseman Steve Eminger, faked a shot, and once goalie Brent Johnson had committed, he put the puck into an empty net to give the Flyers a 3-1 lead.
It was his second goal of the night, and only one of eight the Flyers scored that night, but it was by far the most magnificent.
