VIDEO : McLaughlin completely overwhelmed in post-game interview

It was definitely an emotional night for the rookie who scored in his NHL debut.

Marc McLaughlin had already expressed him immense joy to reporters of just being in the lineup before last night's game. But hours later, he couldn't hide his excitement after netting his first NHL goal.

Here's what the local kid had to say after his memorable night:

McLaughlin became just the fifth Massachussets native to score in his Bruins debut and he got to do it on home ice, at the TD Garden, in front of more than 50 family members and friends.

Good luck wiping that smile off the youngster today!

What a goal. What a night.
