I've watched hockey all my life and I don't know if I've ever seen a "first NHL goal" that wasn't followed by something along the lines of:
"It wasn't the prettiest goal, but he'll tell his grandkids that he went coast to coast and fired it top corner!"
followed by the other guy saying
"He doesn't care what it looked like, he'll take it!".
Either way, I like this Hathaway guy. And if the Flames can avoid panicking when they get these crazy Detroit turnovers in the slot, they might have this one!
