Report: Rookie goaltender tears up after incredible NHL debut.

It's one of those moments in hockey that just makes every single fan feel good.

Even the Edmonton Oilers who were shut out by debuting Maple Leafs rookie Garret Sparks likely put their disappointment aside for a moment when they heard Sparks, who had just been named the first star of the game, and delivered a very emotional interview.

It was all too much to handle for the young man who was thrust into an NHL start likely much earlier than anyone would have expected, and delivered a shut out, the first such player to do so in his debut as a Maple Leaf.
