Washington Capitals star blames a tray of cheese nachos for bizarre error against Edmonton Oilers

Hockey fans have been known for throwing certain objects onto the ice in the past. In Detroit, they're known for tossing an octopus onto the rink while Nashville takes a similar aquatic route with catfish. One Edmonton Oilers fan's decision to throw nachos onto the ice might be a first.

On Tuesday night, the league-leading Washington Capitals had come to visit Edmonton in a matchup between two of the NHL's top teams. With Washington leading 3-1, a tray of nachos had been tossed onto the ice at Rogers Place that distracted Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson.

That led Oilers center Leon Draisaitl to pass the puck to winger Corey Perry - who took a shot mere feet away from the discarded food item and beat Thompson to make the score 3-2. Thompson immediately began pointing at the nachos with his glove and was seen complaining to officials on the ice.
Only hockey lol. In last night's game, Logan Thompson let in a puck thanks to nachos.Denying the joking accusation of ordering nachos, he pinned the culprit."I saw the guy that threw them. Wasn't too happy. So, credit to him. He got them a goal."#ALLCAPS #LetsGoOilers #NHL pic.twitter.com/NmLdwDLKEF.
