It is TGIF here on “This Day” and we are ready to roll with one very nice milestone of a career kind.  This is really one of those moments that make people smile, especially on the West Coast.  The player mentioned in today’s post would go on to win a Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings in 2002.  Here is today’s moment from 11 years ago ladies and gentlemen.  However, we have a video first as we always do.

Luc Robitaille became just the second player in team history to score 500 goals as a member of the Kings. The milestone came in a 4-3 loss against the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning. Luc became the 16th NHL player to score 500 goals with one team.

Truly an old and classic moments from the annuls of hockey history.  The historians would be quite proud of this one.  Here we go from 60 years ago on This Day.

Its HUMP DAY! Time to find a moment worthy of such a great day in the week that makes you look at the rest of the week as if it is going downhill. Speaking of the odd…..
