1. Its a sushi kinda night. LFG Maki boi

2. Oh man. That smile after he scored.

3. Pretty much the perfect first goal for this kid

4. Can’t believe I miss the goal because of a cluster headache 🤦‍♂️. Good on him though

5. FUCKING PISS MISSILE

6. Nice shot!

7. Parents are in the building as well, what a memory.

8. Pretty nasty that he was able to fire that at 94 Mph off the rush in mid-stride. That’s a sick skill to have.

9. Damn that’s a hell of a first goal.

10. Gotta work on those cellys, he just kind of stopped and politely waited for his team to show up haha.

11. On bended knee.

12. What a shot! This kid ain’t going anywhere

13. HISTORIC

14. Lol the playful face stuffing from miller with the cheeky smile like a proud dad. I live for these moments.

15. They grow up so fast.

16. He good

17. Here we have Yonotan Lekkerimaki doing Yonotan Lekkerimaki things

18. And we have found our Swedish ovechkin!!!

19. First of many!

20. Hfs. That was an elite goal scorers goal. It’s not just the combination of power (93.4 MPH!!) and accuracy but the fact that he did both from such a far distance. I don’t care who you are, to be able to rip a HALF slap goal at that speed, off the rush, from nearly 40ft, is something very few NHL player can do

21. Why no slow-mo?

22. I can see this guy becoming great within the next few years

23. I love miller flicking the bucket around like it’s his own kid lol

24. So good!! My house went crazy 🥰

25. Love that Celly, shades of Naslund. Just subdued emotion!

26. Y’all gotta stop rubbing the kid’s visor eh? 🤣🤣

27. Hughes smiling! He’s so proud 🙂

28. Love Suter going straight to grab the puck

29. Damn, 93.4 mph on the awkward one timer. Keep this kid on the squad please.

30. what a beautiful goal i’m in awe that he can shoot it that fast in motion like that

31. Glad he’s on Miller’s wing

32. Everyone on Twitter was talking about Connor McDavid’s 1000th career point, I checked the comments of all the tweets and they were all Canucks fans saying “Don’t care, Lekkerimäki just scored his first career goal”.
