The Canucks would comeback to win the game 4-3 in a shootout. After the game Bear discussed the emotion of the goal.
I heard I scored right after he (Gino Odjick) passed. I think that is pretty powerful. It was meant to be, maybe he was there for me on that shot.
Sometimes it's hard not to be emotional about hockey and the people involved in the game.
