We've all been there.

What seems like a normal sporting event that you're attending turns into a historic moment and you miss it because you left the game early to beat the traffic on the way home.

That very scenario was featured on ABC's sitcom "The Goldbergs" Wednesday night, a show that is set in mid 1980's Philadelphia on the night Flyers goaltender Ron Hextall scored the first goal in NHL history.

ABC did a pretty solid job at recreating what attending a Flyers game at the Spectrum that year was like right down to Hextall's mask and Brian Propp delivering a bone crushing blow right in front of the father-son pair of main characters seated ice side.
