Petr Mrazek stood on his head in Game 7, then took a dive after the Carolina Hurricanes double-overtime victory.

The Hurricanes goalie did a celebratory Slip 'n Slide-style lunge after the Hurricanes upset the Washington Capitals 4-3 in the Eastern Conference First Round.
Mrazek sprinted to join the elated Hurricanes after Brock McGinn's game-winning goal at 11:05 of double overtime, then did an exuberant head-first slide across the ice before reaching his teammates.
