First
Now he just needs a goal
Derek Boogaard was a legend. Rest in Peace
Derek Boogard great guy, rip 😢
Boooooooooog
That shovel was nearly as big as his body!
The NHL is the absolute best.
The Boogeyman reference at the end was jarring to me. He was 28 when he died of an overdose. Posthumous CTE diagnosis. Nice guy by many accounts, but odd to end a sweet story with that.
RIP Boogey
Classic Boogaard moment, gone too soon 💔
I never cheered for Boogaard since he was never on my team, but every story I've heard about the guy really makes me wish things could have been different for him.
