Man, you know that great feeling when you do something for the first time after working on it for years? Run a mile in under six minutes, nail that hot chick from the office, knock out a 20-pound hamburger? Or how about finally scoring your first goal of the year, 17 games into the new NHL season? That has to be a great feeling for a hockey player. Unless of course, you scored the goal on your own net like Ryan O’Byrne did …
Yes, the team had pulled the goalie to get a sixth attacker out their because of a delayed penalty, and O’Byrne scored the game-tying goal on his own net. And his Canadiens went on to lose 4-3 in a shootout to the Islanders. Ordinarily I’d have some sympathy for the poor fellow but I’m a Bruins fan and of course could not be more delighted. The only thing positive I have to say is good thing for O’Byrne hockey isn’t played in Colombia.
