It took Mike Richards 15 games to score his first goal with the Washington Capitals, but hey ... at least it was memorable.
Granted, it wasn’t really notable because Richards did something amazing. Instead, it’s worth watching because of how angry Arizona Coyotes goalie Louis Domingue ended up being.
You can see why in the video above.
As an aside: should Richards be a playoff fixture for the Capitals, or would Washington eventually be better off moving in another direction when the games matter that much more?
Richards received a standing ovation for his efforts.

Update: To make it sting a little more, Richards’ goal ended up being the game-winner as the Capitals beat the Coyotes 3-2.
Also, Domingue still wasn’t happy after the game:
