In the last Devils game, a Devils player leaped over a Cap who had slid across the Caps goal-mouth. Today one of the Capitals jumped over a Ranger as a Capitals' player took a shot. Maybe a decoy or, like the Devil, a way to avoid skating into the body of a player down on the ice.
Given the speed of the game, given how hard they shoot, given the reactions (for instance, Wilson hitting a puck out of the air for a goal), given that these guys are not figure skaters with figure skates, the overall skill is jaw-dropping.
