European league goalie turns in worst own goal of 2014 (Video)
We’ve featured goalie Christian Engstrand in these parts before for a highlight-reel save he made last season. Well, sorry, Christian, but this time around you’re showing up on Puck Daddy for not-so-good reasons.
Playing for Fehervar AV19 of the EBEL league in Europe on Dec. 26, Engstrand made a big mistake in a 1-1 game against EHC Liwest Black Wings Linz when his innocent attempt to send the puck behind his net turned into a disaster:
Cruel. Just so cruel. Even the play-by-play man is flabbergasted at what he just witnessed.
Matthias Iberer would be credited with the goal, his second of the game, and EHC Liwest Black Wings Linz would win 3-1.
Is there a “Worst Own Goals of 2014” list that we can retroactively go back and modify, possibly placing Mr. Engstrand’s blunder atop the list?
