We give out a lot of first career goals. Gave Weise his first hat trick I think earlier this year. I think we have given Ovechkin the point that moved him into the scoring lead in Capitals history last year. At least we didn't give him the goal to move him past Fedorov. Dallas gave Connor McDavid his first NHL goal.
I'd also be curious to see who gives out the most milestones to Flames players.

I'd be surprised. I'd guess most fans only watch their own teams, and announcers always make a note of milestones, slumps, streaks, etc. Plus you probably don't make a note of every time a milestone is NOT reached, or a slump continues, or a streak ends against us.
There's a name for this effect but it's escaping me at the moment. It's not quite confirmation bias but it's similar.
