Mike Legg, Sidney Crosby, Mikael Granlund, and now Mason Raymond.
The former NHLer was in Russia with Team Canada for the Sochi Hockey Open – competing for a spot on Canada’s Olympic roster – when he became one of a select few to do this:
The goal was Raymond’s second of the game and gave Canada a 2-1 lead in the third-place game. They eventually won 3-1.
Almost as good was the low-stated tweet by Hockey Canada. Way to undersell it, guys.

The goal caught the eye of fellow Olympic hopeful Max Talbot.
You have to find the highlight of this goal ! Wow https://t.co/jARl7t70Mq

Raymond played just four games with the Anaheim Ducks in 2016-17, but the 31-year-old speedster does have a 25-goal NHL season to his name, which came with Vancouver in 2009-10.
He’ll play with SC Bern in Switzerland this coming season, and if he can keep this up, Team Canada in February.
