Without Yannick Tremblay's one goal, the Canucks would still sit at 9999.In case you missed it, Daniel Sedin's third period goal Wednesday against the Calgary Flames was the 10,000th regular-season goal in Canucks' history.

But any stat sheet, let alone a list of goalscorers, is incomplete without a perusal of the cellar-dwellers. In this case, the one-goal guys. Some might say they're not important, but that's crazy talk. Without the one-goal guys, the Canucks would be sitting at 9,957.
That's right. Of the 10,000 goals, 43 have been scored by guys who only got one. Today we honour them.
