Video: Seabrook scores ... on his own net

Screen Shot 2014-03-01 at 9.15.45 PM

These things, no matter good a player one might be, happen in hockey. The own goal, and it’s often a spectacular and dreadful spectacle.

Brent Seabrook knows. The Chicago Blackhawks defenseman one-timed the puck into a wide open net in the third period of Saturday’s Stadium Series game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Only problem: he slammed the puck into his own net.

James Neal, who threw a blind pass out front, got credit for the goal. Despite the gaffe - Seabrook threw his head up in disgust the second he saw the puck hit the back of the net - the Blackhawks still won by a final score of 5-1.
