(VIDEO) First Canucks goal is a beauty!

We all know that scoring the first goal of the game at the beginning of the first period is a crucial goal. That's what happened on Tuesday night in the game between the Vancouver Canucks and the Carolina Hurricanes. At 18:28 in the first period, Brad Richardson scores a beauty when he got past the two Canes defencemen and put it in behind Cam Ward. It was Richardson's second goal of the season, giving him 5 points in 9 games.
