Smith can look back at this moment today & just shake his head because he would later win 3 Cups with Oilers but at the moment it was absolutely devastating. This was a strange series because Flames were always able to thwart any momentum Oilers were developing but Edmonton clearly had a superior team. Everyone was waiting for Oilers to seize control but Flames keep playing over their heads. This was a series that was going to be decided by a single mistake & it was a doozy.

I feel sorry for Smith, I really do, it was just an accident, though. Flukes, unfortunately are part of the game. The Flames formulated a specific game plan to neutralize Edmonton's style, and THE OILERS DIDN"T ADJUST TO IT. All Smith did was administer the coup de grace staged by his teammates. Edmonton had plenty of time to get that goal back and they didn't. They lost as a TEAM.

Ya know, back in the ol`days, whe (Flames) moved on to the Playoffs Finals all because a idiot (Smith) scored on himself`

If the Oilers win that game they probably win 5 Cups in a row and 6 out of 7, poor Smith, never lived that down

@landrykkb Point taken. They deserve respect for what they were able to do.

@Mineav Pushing the Oilers to 7 games,let alone beating them,was no easy feat in those days nor was it a fluke.

@TheWillyWalawala That was 1986 bro, Calgary didn't win the cup until 88-89. The only thing you handed us was the laughable anecdote of the NHL's most embarassing goal.

You're welcome Calgary we handed you you're first Stanley enjoy it

When he went behind the net from that point on the rowd would yell "shoot !"
