Patrick Kane scores the most heartbreaking game-winner of his career

Last night, Patrick Kane scored what could be considered the most heartbreaking goal of his career.

It was a thrilling moment as Kane won the shootout for the Detroit Red Wings. However, the joy was short-lived as the realization set in that Detroit would miss the playoffs prior to the shootout even starting.

The Washington Capitals secured a win last night before the Detroit vs Montreal game went to a shootout, sealing Detroit's fate and dashing their postseason hopes. Despite Kane's heroics, the mood among him and his teammates was somber. Their celebration of the Red Wings was filled with sadness as emotions ran high.

It was a reminder of the highs and lows of sports, where one moment of triumph can quickly turn into disappointment, this years NHL playoff race has been no other than fast packed action, and nail-biters for fans.
