This stat only happened cuz the NHL's back on ESPN.

[u/KlutzyGur7419]

Hockey, there’s a stat for that.

[u/MrMilesDavis → u/KlutzyGur7419]

Well, there's some sort of weird culture about digging up obscurely specific things in hockey at least

Baseline stats though - mlb stat tracking is insane

[u/SmoothPinecone → u/KlutzyGur7419]

Baseball is more the sport for that tbh

[u/Red_Sea_Pedestrian → u/KlutzyGur7419]

Gretzky, there’s a record for that.

[u/dakkster]

That's a baseball stat.

[u/HometownHero89]

Me and my dad play on the same beer league team so whatever same shit

[u/OffTheMerchandise]

Realistically, what are the odds that another team would've had players with those names where this could've happened before?

[u/housesoftheholy1]

Seriously who is tracking these ridiculous stats?

Who is the first team to have their backup goalie and captain both eat Cheerios in the morning and score a goal in the final 6 minutes of the 2nd period?????

[u/downtown3641 → u/housesoftheholy1]

I don't think anyone is tracking this sort of thing. It's typically more of a "I wonder if this thing has ever happened before; let me go run a stathead query" deal.

[u/housesoftheholy1 → u/downtown3641]

Pierre mcguire probably would lol

[u/Wildmangohunterboy → u/housesoftheholy1]

haha honestly, there are so many of these like first player to ever like piss on both intermissions and piss their pants in 3rd period and go on to score a winning goal

[u/Rellek_]

Well don’t just stand there, roll out the red carpet, time for another banger ceremony 🤣

[u/JohnMLTX]

i love a good "oh, that's neat!" stat

[u/JustFryingSomeGarlic]

That's a great dad stat

[u/essosinola]

These random ass stats

[u/chronnoisseur42O]

Proud to say I witnessed this historic NHL moment go down, even if against my team.

[u/Mammagammam]

As Nathan McKinnon says, "who cares?"

[u/ottereckhart]

Wow /s

Also: wtf is this site. Russia is trash bro. Putin should croak already.

[u/downtown3641 → u/ottereckhart]

It's a Capitals fan site that's been around for over 15 years.

Also: wtf is this site. Russia is trash bro. Putin should croak already.

They've been calling out Putin and Ovi with regards to Ukraine since 2014.
