Oh Canada

Jets 8-4 over the blues, Laine becomes the first player since Franzen in 2011 to score 5 goals.


Somebody in Winnipeg won 1 Million $ because of Laine.........NICE

 

Flames 1-0 over yotes.

 

6-0, two goals for hanafin.

 

Thanks to the "Score & Win" game held by Canadian supermarket chain Sobeys/Safeway, the five-goal game won Winnipeg's Christopher Haley one million dollars. According to the rules of the contest, a $1 million prize is awarded to a selected fan if a single Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton or Winnipeg player scores five goals in a contest.


The one million dollar prize will be awarded over the course of 20 years, with the fan receiving $50,000 annually during that time. Not a bad deal.

Five goals in a game is a pretty rare feat for a single player in today's NHL, so the odds of a having one guy from a specific team do it on a selected night means are extremely unlikely. This Christopher Haley fellow has to be absolutely stunned (and ecstatic) that he's got a cool million coming to him over the next few decades.

Meanwhile, Sobeys/Safeway has to hope that Patrik Laine starts to cool off soon because we might be looking at another one of these games in the near future if he keeps shooting the puck the way he has been lately.

hakstol needs to be fired. the team quit on him and won't play hard anymore. the sens suck and those late goals were garbage!

 

Hakstol will be fired after the new gm hires his guy.

last time i saw chris pronger was when he waved to the crowd from the club box bf a game. he could barely move. he looked like he was a vegetable.
