For many, scoring the first goal en route to the Clarkson Cup win would mean at least a night of celebration. For Shauna Denis, who scored the first goal in the inaugural Clarkson Cup Final in 2009, it meant driving back from where the game was played in Kingston to the Bell Centre where she had to cover the Habs hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs that same night for her new job with the Montreal Canadiens.
“That’s probably the best explanation I can give you of where [the game was],” Denis said.
The goal was also the first goal in Clarkson Cup history.
