Filip Forsberg accomplished two huge milestones with one goal Thursday.
Like many kids growing up in the 1990s, Forsberg idolized legendary NHL goalie Martin Brodeur. More specifically, he idolized the idea of beating him.
"As a kid, I dreamed of scoring a goal on him. I didn't think I would get that chance." - Filip Forsberg on Martin Brodeur. #Preds #STLBlues

Well guess what? When the Predators faced Brodeur in his first start with the St. Louis Blues on Thursday, he got that chance. And he made the most of it in a big way.
With one shot, the Predators rookie fulfilled his dream and made history as the first goal scored against Brodeur outside a Devils uniform. Eat your heart out, kid.
