Over the years, NHL.com has caught up with players to have a little fun and show off their personalities. This time, the league\u2019s outlet asked the pros to share what they considered the most embarrassing moment of their careers. Several Golden Knights players made the cut and shared their so-called \u201cmost embarrassing\u201d NHL moment.<\/p>\n

The most embarrassing NHL moment, I scored an own goal in San Jose. The goalie wasn\u2019t very happy with me. I think I tried to carry the puck in front of the net and it went off of my stick and into the net. So, that\u2019s probably my most embarrassing moment. \u2013Jack Eichel to NHL.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Miscues happen to every player. As flawless as Jack Eichel looks on the ice, even the top-line center had a submission, and it was quite comical. Thankfully, Eichel\u2019s blooper happened when he was a member of the Buffalo Sabres.<\/p>\n

Either in Mites, Juniors, NCAA or even in the NHL, putting the puck in your own goal occasionally happens. However, as proven by Eichel, a player (or the goalie) never forgets about a clumsy blunder. Nor do players forget about losing an edge or falling on the ice unprovoked.<\/p>\n

Vegas\u2019 starting goaltender Carter Hart had an embarrassing moment of his own that he shared with NHL.com. While in Philadelphia, Hart was heading back to the ice after an intermission and seemed to forget he was on skates.<\/p>\n

Coming off for the 3rd period and I toe-picked in front of everyone. We were running out of the tunnel, and I toe-picked right on my face. Then I fell skating in my crease too. I was like; \u2018oh my gosh, what\u2019s going on?\u2019 \u2013Carter Hart to NHL.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Hart was far from graceful in that moment, but his tumble didn\u2019t impact the score like Eichel\u2019s error. Nevertheless, VGK\u2019s number one netminder hasn\u2019t forgotten about his poorly landed pirouette years back.<\/p>\n

The first two embarrassing moments occurred on the ice. So, why was Golden Knights center Tomas Hertl embarrassed after scoring his famous four-goal night in 2019?<\/p>\n

When I scored my four goals I get to the locker room and there\u2019s a picture I did back home when I was 17 or 18. A picture like Jagr, I had a little blonde hair. Guys put it on the big screen in the locker room, and it was there forever. They were making fun all the time about it. I was kind of embarrassed. \u2013Tomas Hertl to NHL.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Per usual, Hertl\u2019s personality stole the show. While other NHL stars were highlighting their in-game or on-ice misfortunes, the lovable Golden Knight recalled an entirely mortifying teenage photoshoot from the Czech Republic. However, he openly dredged up the infamous glamour shot with his giant patented smile. Hertl\u2019s too happy to be embarrassed by much.<\/p>\n
