Pete DeBoer has never lost a Game 7 as an NHL coach. Jared Bednar has never won one. They will be on opposite benches when the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche play what seems like the only fitting end for their first-round series in this year's NHL playoffs — a Game 7 on Saturday night.

Here are some of the national reactions to the Dallas Stars’ Game 6 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, in which the deciding goal was doinked off one of the Stars’ players and into their own net. The teams will square off on Saturday for a win-or-go-home Game 7.

The No. 1 adage of any given hockey game, "Anything can happen," also applies to the NHL playoffs. On Thursday night, the Dallas Stars were unfortunately on the losing side of a freak play that could be considered the worst own goal of the NHL season so far.
