After going goalless for over a year, 369 days to be exact, the streak is no-more! Scott Gomez of the Montreal Canadiens scored his first goal this season to put his team ahead 3-0 midway through the 3rd period against the New York Islanders Thursday night (2/9/12). Not only was this Gomez’s first goal in over a year but it was the decisive game winner in the end too!
There was even a dedicated site to this on-going horrific streak: http://www.didgomezscore.com/
Here is that very goal:

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
