In most cases, Patrice Bergeron can do no wrong.
But the Boston Bruins forward unknowingly stuck a knife in bettors' hearts Tuesday night.
You see, the over/under goal total for Game 7 of the Bruins' first-round Stanley Cup Playoffs series with the Toronto Maple Leafs closed at 5.5.
If you bet the under, you were sitting pretty, even after Charlie Coyle added an empty-net goal with 2:34 remaining to make it 4-1 Bruins.
Then, in the meaningless final seconds with the game in h and, the B's cleared their own zone ... and disaster struck for under bettors.
Bergeron could have just skated the clock out. But no: He had to flip in an empty-net goal with 0.2 seconds left to make the final score 5-1 and hit the over.

Friendly reminder, folks: If you're going to bet on sports, be prepared to have your heart ripped out every now and then.
