For the Aussies

[smitty_p]

Australian, Nathan Walker, plays his first game in the NHL tonight for the Washington Capitals. He is the first native-born Australian to play in the National Hockey League.

As a hockey fan who will be watching, many congratulations to Nathan!

And...Nathan Walker gets credited with his first NHL goal!

It was a re-direct from a shot by Devante Smith-Pelly.

Kudos to both players!

Here's his introduction. This was the Capitals' home opener for the beginning of this hockey season.

At 0:13 the camera cuts to his family.

Speaking of Australia what ever happened to Mel Gibson's Australian accent? He sounds more American now. I heard he took up playing guitar in the States.

I guess he finally remembered he was born and lived in the USA until he was 12.
It's all good. We'll claim him when he does something good and the rest of the time we'll disown him
