A clearing attempt by Edmonton's Steve Smith ends up resulting in a goal for Calgary in Game 7 of their 1986 playoff series. This is the CBC feed. I also have an ESPN feed on tape.

  • This still brings a smile to my face.

  • The Oiler coaches had a game plan, which, when the players followed it, gave the OIlers three wins. In other games, the players did not follow the game plan for defeating the Flames, and it cost them. The Flames were more determined to win than were the OIlers. After their great season and their ridiculously easy win over the Canucks in the first round, the OIlers did not take the Flames nearly as seriously as they should have.

  • @punjabimunda4lyfe i didnt say they were bad, but, if they were so legand, they couldnt come back against the flames?

  • @graciemaemarie11 hmmm i think 5 cups in 7 years counts as "great".

  • if the wonderful oilers were so great, they had plenty of time tio even, and overcome this mistake

  • Poor Steve Smith. i hope people remember him as a very good dman who helped the Oilers win 3 cups, and not as a guy who made one bad mistake as a rookie.

  • Everyone makes a mistake, but this one by Smith ultimately proved to be the game-breaker and series-breaker. We'll never know if the Oilers would have eventually went on to win the Stanley Cup, sandwiched in between 2 Stanley Cups won the 2 years prior and the 2 years after. The Oilers may have won 5 straight Stanley Cups if they had beaten Calgary in this Game 7, and won the Cup that year.

  • @deannumber11 Good Point....I always say the same regarding Bill Buckner. Don't worry that the Sox were up by 2 and the relievers could't get a guy out.

  • Anyone know if Smith played another shift after that? I think there was about 15 minutes left at that point.

  • Hey Temp, can you upload the ESPN feed, haven't heard that call.
