Our Video Of Day is none other than Troy Brouwer’s winning goal with 12.3 seconds left in the Winter Classic. The former Blackhawk burned his ex-team with a power play goal late to lift the host Capitals over the Blackhawks 3-2 at Nationals Park.

This is a unique view of the goal with it coming from the goalie cam with Corey Crawford getting beat with under 13 seconds remaining. Put on a late power play due to a weak call on Chicago captain Jonathan Toews for hooking, the Caps scored on a broken play. Off an Alex Ovechkin rush in which he lost the puck, Brouwer picked it up and surprised Crawford with a turnaround shot that went far side. That set off a great celebration. The game seemed destined for classic pond hockey (4-on-4). Instead, it was a wild ending with the Hawks coming close at the end.

Many were upset about the call on Toews. The officiating towards the end was tight with a couple of iffy calls and a missed one on Andrew Shaw. Maybe it was fitting since Shaw got away with one. Even if you hate seeing games decided that way, it was a pretty cool conclusion to a signature event. Brouwer is one of the most underrated players. A hard worker who does a bit of everything. I loved seeing him play the hero and get the winner’s interview with Pierre McGuire. A memorable moment.
