On October 5th, 2005, opening night for the 2005-06 NHL season, Daniel Alfredsson and Dany Heatley became the first players to score the winning goals for a shoot out in NHL history when they both scored against the Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Ed Belfour.

Agreed. By definition, two different players cannot score the winning goal in the same game. I've revised that sentence slightly. Resolute 04:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

He meant them to both score. Technically, the first was Alfredsson, then Heatley got the winner.

[edit] German hockey player?

I've never understood the point of labelling players like Heatley (and the Regehr brothers in Calgary) as being foreign based simply on the location of their birth. Heatley's parents are both Canadian, and his German "heritage" is nothing but an accident of location when he was born. That does not strike me as enough of a reason to add Heatley to the "German Canadians" and "German Hockey Players" categories. Resolute 04:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

His mother is German. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.192.61.106 (talkcontribs) 17:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC).
