John Erskine Scores, Smiles, and Shows Off Tooths

If you had John Erskine in the players who will have a goal before Alexander Ovechkin then congrats. Erskine scored his first goal of the season on Sunday afternoon against the Buffalo Sabres.  Johnny just sort of flung the puck towards the goal, not really a shot, but to the surprise of everyone at Verizon, and especially Joe B, the puck went into the net.

Erskine showed off his missing "tooths" as he was as surprised as we were that he scored a goal. Locker put it this way:

"Nothing better than a hockey smile from John Erskine. A couple of tooths missing [his exact words lol] old school hockey..."
