Player Breaks Down Into Tears in Front of a Sold Out Arena After His Most Troubling Week Ever
Minnesota Wild defensemen Alex Goligoski celebrated his 1,000th NHL game last night during the Wild's matchup against the red hot Carolina Hurricanes.

Goligoski has been the odd man out of the Minnesota Wild's lineup and has been scratch twelve games out of the Wild's 18, and has only played six so far this season. Goligoski mentions ''It has been my most frustrating season out of my seventeen years throughout the NHL''.

And to top it all off, his game winning goal came with a post-game interview in front of his family in attendance, where he bawled his eyes out, grab your tissues before watching below..
