Thursday night's overtime and shootout in Toronto featured more unfortunate posts than your annoying uncle's Facebook wall.
The Coyotes and Leafs were deadlocked at 2-2 when Radim Vrbata had a golden opportunity to pot the winner in the final seconds of overtime. Instead, he rung the crossbar and that set off a bizarre string of missed opportunities.
The first three participants in the ensuing shootout went on to also strike iron with their shots. If a fan didn't know any better, it was like both teams were trying their best to one-up each other.
Ultimately, the Coyotes' Peter Holland, who was traded to Arizona by the Leafs last week, scored the lone goal and mercifully ended the contest.
