Tampa Bay Lightning forward Jake Guentzel missed a shot into an empty net against the Toronto Maple Leafs in a regular season NHL game. Tampa Bay counterattacked, giving the puck away.
The incident occurred in the third period with the score 3-0, when Toronto, desperately trying to close the gap, pulled its goalie, leaving the net empty. Guentzel skated toward the empty net and hit the post.
Despite the missed opportunity and the missed goal, the game ended with a 4-2 victory for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Netizens are joking that Guentzel has been cursed by Donald Trump. The hockey player failed to attend the president's reception after Team USA's Olympic victory.
