Instead, Nixon got selfish and tried to score the goal himself on a low-percentage wraparound. He bounces the puck off the side of the net, right onto the stick of a Lethbridge player, down the ice and in our net.
One stupid decision turned a 4-1 game into a 3-2 game. Turned an easy third period into a desperate attempt to maintain a one goal lead, and a 1-1 series into an 0-2 hole going on the road.
Very, very disappointing.

Ya I remember seeing that, I thought the guy was a complete moron for not passing it out, it would have been a total gimmie goal. Oh well, luckily he didn't.
