Washington Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov flipped Colorado Avalanche center Matt Duchene head over heels with a tremendous hip check during the first period of Tuesday night's NHL game at the Verizon Center.
We can't remember the last time we saw a hit like that. Duchene just went up and over Orlov like a rag doll. Even more amazing was that after landing on his backside, Duchene got back up and continued skating like nothing happened.
The hit by Orlov set the tone for the game, as the Capitals shut out the Avalanche 3-0.
