Ron Hextall: First NHL goal ever scored by a goalie.

He's known for being arguably the most intimidating man between the pipes in NHL history, just the name Hextall struck fear in the hearts of opposing players, the man was a loose cannon you never knew what was coming next. The was exactly what happened on December 8th 1987, when Hextall became the first goalie ever in the NHL to take a shot and score an empty net goal against the Boston Bruins( New york Islanders goalie Billy Smith had previously been credited for an own goal against the Colorado Rockies). As all of you should know by now, Hextall has returned to the Flyers as GM, and we hope his influence rubs off on his players.
