Mathieu Perreault scored four goals in the Jets' 8-2 romp over the Wander Suero Jersey Panthers on Tuesday in Winnipeg, but he owes Gail McDonald of Brandon, Manitoba, a million-dollar apology for his performance.
Had Perreault scored one more time, McDonaldwould have won$1 million, courtesy ofSafeway's $1,000,000 Score and Win Challenge, which promises Michael A. Taylor Jersey todoleout the grand prize to a random winner should a player score five goals in a single game. It's one of those Anthony Rendon Jersey fun giveaways hockey sponsors like to run, the yeah-right-no-one-will-ever-win-that sort of contest.
Well, on Tuesday, McDonald was a breakaway from becoming a millionaire.

Perreault, who entered the game with 11 goals Austin Voth Jersey this season,scored all his goals before the third period even started.As it turns out, he was in alone on Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo in third, only to be turned away. He was never able to net that elusive fifth goal, endingGail's run for the cash. Still, hemanaged the first Sean Doolittle Jersey four-goal game for the Jets/Atlanta Thrasher franchise since Ilya Kovalchuk did it in 2005.
For what it's worth, Perreault apologized to McDonald after the game, saying he wasn't aware $1 Tres Barrera Jersey million was on the line. Something tells us she's not interested in cheap talk, Mathieu.
A happy Perreault
