Buffalo Sabres ripped to shreds by NHL fans for humiliating own goal

It's one of the rarest ways you can score a goal, and it's more humiliation for a Buffalo Sabres team that is destined to have the longest playoff drought in hockey continue.

Down 3-2 to the Hockey Club in Salt Lake City, the Sabres had the puck in the attacking zone with a man advantage due to an empty net.

In front of the Utah net, defenseman Bowen Byram drew a penalty for high-sticking. That meant the play would stop if a Utah player touched the puck. So, essentially, the only way they could score a goal is if a Sabres player scored an own-goal.
