As the end of the regular season approaches, there's a possibility of a fun new piece of hockey trivia coming up: how do you score a goal in an NHL game you don't play?
Tomorrow
night, Columbus and Dallas are playing the make-up game for the one
that was called off last
month, when Rich Peverley's heart stopped on the bench*. The league announced that the game would play from the
beginning (it was stopped early in the first period), but that the score
would start 1-0, since Columbus had scored in that game.
*If you
aren't familiar with it, the summary is that he was revived, and has
since had surgery; he's "fine" for now, hoping to play again.
Here's
the catch: Nathan Horton, who scored that goal, is out with an injury
and may not be able to play in the make-up game. Cool, eh? Assuming
Horton doesn't play, that becomes one of my favorite hockey trivia
questions, along with the one about who scored all five types of goals
in one game.
Also, if you're a hockey fan and on Ravelry, I found a thread in the Puck This group with hockey lolz, and oh, so funny! Such as:
It's an awful lot of fun, I must say.
Wait, what are the five types of goals?
