It all started with a block.
The scoresheet will show that Marie-Philip Poulin’s empty net goal was assisted by Julie Chu but it wouldn’t have happened if not for Caroline Ouellette’s blocked shot.
Right after that block, Chu picked up the puck, passed it to Poulin and the rest, as they say, is history.
Nobody knows if Sunday’s Clarkson Cup triumph by Les Canadiennes was the final game of Caroline Ouellette’s illustrious career - maybe not even Ouellette herself. But if this was the last goal she was on the ice for, it was a heck of a shift.
