Any Sharks fan knows that the team's post season has not been that successful. Last year, the top seeded Sharks were shut down by the last seeded Anaheim Ducks. It was absolutely pathetic. The whole city was distraught.
Fast forward to this year's postseason. Once again, the Sharks are number one in their division and are starting the postseason by playing the worst team in their division, the Colorado Avalanche. The Sharks should be winning this series, no question.
Last night, Dan Boyle became the first NHL player to score an own goal in the playoffs. It was overtime and the game winning shot for the Avalanche was made by the Sharks player, Mr. Boyle.
Dan Boyle shot the puck into the San Jose net and scored on his teammate, Evgeni Nabokov. Once again, absolutely pathetic. It wasn't on purpose or anything. He was trying to clear the puck out by passing it to his teammate, but his pass turned into an own goal shot. I wonder what poor Nabokov was thinking when this went down... something like "Really Boyle? Did you really just do that?"
This is about as dumb as it gets. Would you steal money from yourself? Would you key your own car?
The San Jose Sharks have made history...for making the most embarrassing playoff play ever. They better redeem themselves and win this series. I don't think my city can take another season ending like last year...
