Oct. 9, 2000 – Brett Hull scored his 611th goal, passes his father in all-time scoring

At 7:33 of the third period, Brett Hull one-timed a pass from Brendan Morrow into the net past Curtis Joseph, tying the hockey game and contributing to the Dallas Stars 3-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. The goal placed Brett in ninth place on the NHL‘s all-time scoring list.

Toronto coach Pat Quinn, who once played against Bobby, said the only similarity between the two is that they’re both blond. “Bobby was the dominant one. He was ‘Give me the puck and I’ll bull through everybody,’” Quinn said. “Brett has always gotten himself into a position where a good play maker could find him.” Brett himself describes his style as “stealth mode.”

“I didn’t like the ’50s, you know. I appreciate Elvis, but I’m not a big fan. I’m not a rockabilly fan. And the ’60s and early ’70s were, to me, the greatest times to live.” – Brett Hull
