A rather unfortunate “own goal”

In case you didn’t see it, Nicklas Backstrom — the player from the Capitals, not the “C”-less goalie for the Wild — had a tough game yesterday. Tied 2-2 with the Penguins with less than 30 seconds left, a centering pass is made in front of the net, and Backstrom picks the corner beautifully to make it 3-2. Problem is: It was his own net. Ouch. Watch the reactions of his teammates and wait until the end for the Pittsburgh players’ reactions. Priceless.
