The date was May 14, 2013, and Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs chose the wrong time to break the cardinal rule for all who attend live sporting events: Never leave before the final buzzer.
The revelation came out as George Stroumboulopoulos interviewed a trio of NHL owners in a segment that aired during Saturday's Hockey Night in Canada pregame show.
Stroumboulopoulos asked if Jacobs and Larry Tanenbaum, chairman of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment and part-owner of the Toronto club, spoke after Boston's epic comeback during Game 7 of a first round series back in 2013.
The response begins with Jacobs admitting to leaving when the Maple Leafs went up 4-1 in the third period.
The Bruins tied the game and went on to win in overtime, while Jacobs was mentally composing a congratulatory letter.
Oops.
