Well, kinda. Who remembers the famous Hanson brothers from the movie Slapshot? Cmon, Paul Newman was in it…now you remember. Turns out a son is now in the NHL. Who would have thunk it.

NEWARK, N.J. – The script was perfect for the first NHL goal by the son of one of the notorious Hanson brothers from the movie “Slap Shot.”
Christian Hanson scored against his favourite player, Martin Brodeur, and the Toronto Maple Leafs rookie didn’t seem to care it didn’t come on a slap shot.
“To be honest I would have taken it any way it would have gone in. Off my head, off my butt, off my skate, and luckily it went off my stick,” said Hanson, whose backhander capped a three-goal first period that led Toronto to a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night.
