On this day: Ron Hextall becomes the first goalie to shoot and score.

On this day 28 years ago Philadelphia Flyers' goaltender Ron Hextall took the shot heard around the world.

Although Islanders' goaltender Billy Smith was the first goalie to be credited with a goal, 'Hexy' was the first to actually shoot the puck down the ice and score against the Bruins in 1987-88.

It was the first of two goals that Hextall scored in his career, the other coming in the 1988-89 playoffs.

The funniest thing is the announcer, who calls the goal only three seconds before Hextall shoots it into the open cage.

Truly a classic moment in NHL.
