My first goal of my career came in game 27 for Saint Louis against the Vancouver Whalers.

With nine minutes left in the third and Vancouver up by two we were all getting a bit desperate. Tigole Bitties and Shawn Gretzky were on the face off in the offensive zone and I took my position and waited. It all came in slow motion. I felt it as soon as Tigole Bitties won the faceoff to Nour Harrak along the boards, I saw my opening and bolted for the left side at the very top of the circle. I tapped my stick furiously on the ice, I wanted it and Nour saw me. No mistake was made as he made the pass through two Vancouver players. I didn't even have my eyes open for the shot. I knew where I wanted to put it as I one-timed the puck, felt the release and heard the horn.

I never thought it would take me so long to get my first, but that was a great feeling to score when we were down and to celebrate with my team mates.. We ended up losing but I know I'll be putting shots on net more often just to feel that again.
