Some people are annoyed that New York Islanders forward Joshua Ho-Sang is wearing 66, the same number that Mario Lemieux made famous. Others are annoyed that people are annoyed.
So, with Ho-Sang scoring his first NHL goal on Tuesday, the only mature thing to do would be to allow those people to argue about the situation again. It’s a public service, really.
Ho-Sang wasn’t able to score his first goal in his first shift in his first game. Instead, it happened late in the first period of his fourth game. Still pretty good.
Here’s the tally off a howling shot:
And here’s an inevitable (and quite-solid) joke about it all.
Only 689 more to catch that Lemieux guy.

Now, enjoy Mario Lemieux’s famous “first shift, first game, first goal,” for needless comparison’s sake. Have fun.
