He bought 2 beers and 2 hot dogs money's gone now.

Only 50K? that is a million dollar shot.

[turmat]

he officially scored more goals in this arena than Scott Gomez.

[NexsusDUI]

He's more excited than the guy who actually won the money haha!

[nathankennedy]

Fans come rushing back from the concourse thinking Hab’s just scored

[vito]

Let's trade him to the devil's for Taylor Hall! Devil's need scoring.

About 20 years ago I was chosen as "fan of the game" at a university game to try to make a similar shot from the distant blue line. I was thrilled when I managed to hit the board

The CEO of Coors Light quietly mumbled to himself "you gotta be fvckin kidding me."

[ExplorationRandomDestination]

I love how he gave it a good shot not just floated it

[michaelb]

He scored the same amount of goals as the Habs that night
