"📸: Dr Kat from #crashers Former Washington Capitals goaltender Darcy Kuemper appeared a bit salty after the Los Angeles Kings lost to the Boston Bruins 2-1 in overtime on Friday night. Morgan Geekie scored 2:27 into overtime, taking a pass from David Pastrnak and beating Kuemper with a wrist shot to the far side of the net. As Pastrnak raised his arms to the air in celebration, Kuemper did not seem to appreciate how close he got to him"
