His first glimpse of Jesse's snipe, however, came courtesy of a text message from his colleague, Ian Pulver, a player agent and founder of The Will Sports Group (WSG).
Ylönen is a player agent, too, and the co-founder of WSG Finland.
"It was a nice goal. The first goal is always a nice goal," said Ylönen. "I'm happy Jesse scored pretty soon after he started playing with Montreal."
While Jesse lit the lamp just four games into his NHL career, Juha took a little longer to accomplish the feat back in March 1998, scoring in his 53rd appearance with Phoenix.
The elder Ylönen isn't jealous that Jesse has bragging rights in that department now, though.
"My first goal was really nice, but it took too many games," cracked Ylönen, referencing his short-handed marker versus the Hurricanes. "That's been a joke for a long time already, just how long it took for me to score. Jesse was much faster. He can score. He's a better goal scorer than I was when I played."
