"We thought it was his (goal). We've watched him play for so long. We know his stance and what he does," Ceri Walker said. "But we thought maybe we were wrong. Then there was an alert, they changed it to his goal. It was absolutely tremendous."
The group Ceri spoke of included Nathan's father, Wayne, Nathan's fiancee, Tayla Billinghurst, Nathan's brother Ryan and his girlfriend, Ellyse, and longtime family friends.
"So many fans had the signs that said 'G'Day Nate,'" Billinghurst told NHL.com. "It was really cool to see. I can't wait to jump online and see all the pictures."
