Josh Doan Scores 2 Goals in First NHL Game

[mphmiles]

He's had such a good first game overall too. He's generated a few really good chances for his linemates, he's playing smart and poised, you wouldn't be able to tell it's his first game, 100% looks like he belongs

His whole line (He, McBain, and Maccelli) completely dominated. In 13.5 minutes at 5v5:

Scoring chances: 13-2
High danger chances: 10-1
xGF%: 87%
Goals: 2:0

About as good a debut as anyone could've hoped for.

Love his dad's reaction too. Good on the kid.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Awesome! Son of Shane, Arizona born and raised (and hockey trained), played at ASU and now for the Coyotes and scores two goals. That's pretty great.

To be fair, he still playing at ASU.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Shane Doan's son is already in the NHL? Most impressive.

Shane Doan's son is already in the NHL? Most impressive.

I hate him for making me feel old.

 

[BB79]

To be fair, he still playing at ASU.

maybe that's why he played well, he's used to playing there.

Nice to see there were some fights in the game, I haven't seen multiple fights in a game in a while

 

[The Crypto Guy]

That’s a proud looking daddy.

 

[NVious]

Shane was in the Columbus locker room giving them "bonuses" before the game to let him score, he learned it from the Hymans.

 

[Coffey]

Pretty f***ing upsetting that this wasn't in front of 15000 people.
f*** you, Bettman.

 

[SenzZen]

Bettman be like:

 

[mpir3]

I’ve seen him play quite a bit at the rinks in Arizona over the years. Great kid…even at 15/16 most couldn’t imagine a pro player. I think lower level D1 player was kinda the ceiling. He’s obviously put in the work and I believe we’re looking at a very solid ~25 goal nhl player now. Great story.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Loved how Shane played - left it all on the ice. Ditch digger in the best sense.

Sounds like his kid's a carbon copy. Good news for Yotes fans.

Shane Doan's reaction made that so wholesome

 

[abo9]

Kinda wild in a 32 teams league that Arizona could draft him, then he manages to makenit to the NHL and score for the sake team that his dad played his whole career for

Would be cool for arizona to have another lifetimer here

 

[tarheelhockey]

That’s respectable, but only halfway to the record for the most goals in a debut game by a player from Arizona.

 

[CraigsList]

He seems to have more compete than his dad. His dad content getting a nice pay check and then mailing it in.

Do you know S. Doan personally to make that assessment?

 

[bleedgreen]

That’s awesome to watch.

Doan’s Dad should send Werenski a bottle of wine for facilitating the moment, but what a perfect moment.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Pfft, Snek Goaltzel scored 2 on his first 2 shifts. Top that yeah nerd.

 

[Jets]

Went from college, to the big rink down in Tucson and now back to college. What a journey.

 

[Mosby]

He seems to have more compete than his dad. His dad content getting a nice pay check and then mailing it in.

Pekkahead.

 

[Machinehead]

This is cool.

I didn't even know Shane had a son that's a high-level player.

He's playing for the Coyotes and wearing his dad's number (sort of). It's a really cool story.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Amazing. Loved seeing his dad's reaction.

 

[ps241]

Dad and the family losing their minds was a great moment. He looked a bit like Shane going hard to the net on the first goal then the tip in on the 2nd goal. Good for the him.

 

[Voight]

Wait hold on, did we ask how much money his dad made and whether he benefitted from having a good childhood?

Bravo.

 

[rojac]

Not bad for the son of a Leafs employee.
