When nature calls, you have to accept the charges, even if you risk missing a milestone.
Mitch Marner's mother, Bonnie, attended his game Saturday against the Boston Bruins with her husband, Paul, but she didn't see their son's first career NHL goal because she was using the washroom.
"That's definitely going to be something I can joke around with her about," Mitch told TSN's Mark Masters after the game.
He scored the memorable marker on a slick wrist shot in the first period.
At least Bonnie got to celebrate, eventually.
