He blew a 3-on-1 chance! 😳🫣
•
Minnesota Wild forward Bobby Brink was clearly not happy with himself after missing a golden opportunity against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night.
During the game in Toronto, Brink found himself on a 3-on-1 rush with a chance to make the most of a dangerous scoring opportunity. However, the forward sent the puck wide of the net, and he was visibly frustrated with the result.
And he made sure everyone knew it.
As he returned to the bench, Brink took out his frustration on the boards, smashing his stick in a moment that quickly caught the attention of fans. The reaction was particularly striking considering the Wild were actually holding the lead at the time.
It’s never easy to shake off a missed opportunity, especially one that could have resulted in a goal. But Brink’s reaction was so immediate and emphatic that it quickly became a talking point online.
The clip has since gone viral, with fans getting a glimpse of just how much the missed chance bothered the Minnesota forward.
Even with his team in front, Brink clearly expected more from himself… and his stick paid the price.
