This is most certainly another moment to remember. Although most of us have never played in the NHL, we can all imagine how hard it is to score a goal in that league, let alone three.

Also great to see that some of us had their personal highlights at a game like that. As MacK’s hatty never gets old, here it is once more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fz5j4eNHMQQ
