Just 51 seconds into overtime, Boyle, attempting to rim the puck around the back boards, instead ripped a high, hard backhand shot past his own goalie, Evgeny Nabokov, and just like that, a dominant 51-shot performance by the San Jose Sharks ended in a 1-0 loss, putting them down 2-1 in their Western Conference playoff series against the Colorado Avalanche. On the TV, you could see players asking each other what had happened. How had that one gone in, and so forth. You have to feel for Boyle, a nice guy and a splendid player who won a Stanley Cup with Tampa Bay in 2004, helped Canada win gold at the 2010 Olympics and has been a spark plug these past two seasons in San Jose. Now this. A play that lives forever for all the wrong reasons. Few feelings in sport can be worse than the agonizing solitude that comes with being the guy whose miscue costs his team a key match. | |
