Boston University goaltender Matt O'Connor scored a rare goalie goal in Saturday's Frozen Four final against Providence. The only problem: He scored on his own net.
With Boston up one and the clock winding down, O'Connor snared a lazily dumped puck in his glove. But seemingly unsure if he'd made the grab, O'Connor dropped back toward his net as the puck somehow trickled from his glove, fell to the ice, and scooted between his legs for one of the most embarrassing own goals you'll ever see.
Providence netted one more goal in the closing minutes to steal a 4-3 win and the NCAA title. Here's the video, via Vice Sports. —Jon Terbush
