Sunday night, two players teamed up to break the hearts of Maple Leafs fans everywhere.
Justin Williams and Marcus Johansson played hero in overtime as the Capitals eliminated the Leafs with a 2-1 OT win.
Johansson, who scored the game-tying goal in regulation, also netted the series-clinching goal with the assist coming from 'Mr. Game 7' who tormented Leafs fans all series long.
Before the extra frame, a lot of people were predicting Williams would score the goal, though, which is understandable considering his playoff past.
Johansson, however, told Williams he was going to score the winner in a really cool conversation before overtime, as per Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post:
"I've got it." You have to be extremely confident in yourself to tell Mr. Game 7 you've got it in the biggest moment of the series, and Johansson clearly was as everyone discovered shortly into the extra frame.
The two goals in Game 6 were the first ones of the playoffs for Johansson, and having his scoring will be key going forward as the Capitals need a balanced attack if they want to get past the second round of the playoffs for the first time since the 1997-98 season.
