Ryan Johansen did the Mighty Ducks' 'Flying V' in NHL All-Star breakaway contest

During the NHL All-Star Breakaway Challenge portion of the skills competition, Columbus Blue Jackets forward Ryan Johansen threw it back to a beloved hockey movie: the Mighty Ducks.

Yes, that’s right: Johansen enlisted some of his fellow NHL All-Stars to do the “Flying V” with him.

And Johansen ended up winning the contest — maybe because, during another breakaway attempt, he took off his Columbus jersey to reveal an Ohio State jersey underneath, in honor of the Buckeyes’ recent national championship win.

Points for creativity, all around.
