Senators ignite the home crowd with a goal in just 48 seconds!

It was almost as if the National Hockey League's broadcast could predict what was about to happen.

As the broadcaster was opining on the fact that the Ottawa Senators would love for Mike Hoffman to get going in this series against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Hoffman did just that. 

Pouncing on a rebound at an awkward angle Hoffman opened the scoring in Game 3 with just 48 seconds off the clock, something that sent the Ottawa Senators home crowd into an absolute frenzy. 

Here's a look at the early goal.
