Let's take a quick trip back in the hockey time machine. It was Oct. 13, 2011, and the Winnipeg Jets had just gone toe to toe with the mighty Chicago Blackhawks before a raucous, sold-out crowd at the United Center.

Jim Slater gave the visitors a 1-0 lead just over four minutes into the game. Slater struck again moments later to make it 2-0. You probably couldn't believe what you were seeing. I'm pretty sure Slater couldn't believe what he was doing.
