Ryan O'Reilly had a drink and you miss it moment Wednesday.

The St. Louis Blues captain almost missed Tyler Bozak's overtime winning goal while taking a water break in Game 5 of the Western Conference Second Round.
In a clip posted by the Blues, O'Reilly is seen looking up and taking a sip of water when his teammates start celebrating the overtime goal. He then immediately drops his water bottle and celebrates with his teammates as if he saw the goal in real time.

It is possible O'Reilly saw the goal on the jumbotron after David Perron blocked his view.
It is also possible he didn't see it and played it off smoothly.
Either way, it was well played by the captain.
