So last night's game between the L.A. Kings & N.Y. Rangers was a debacle for former Conn Smythe winner Jonathan Quick. But was the own goal the worst in NHL History? The season is still young & players are shaking off the cob webs & rust, so it's acceptable to see a few mishaps. Here's Quick's fail from last night:
Pretty bad, 'eh? With the trusty help of YouTube & a few keywords like, "Worst own goals" & "Worst goals in NHL History", a couple stellar fails came up. Here's what was found:
Vesa Toskala against the N.Y.Islanders in 2008:
