The officials effectively killed the 2nd period for the Flames, but the Flames PK held strong...and then Smith allowed a shot from Wilson to get past him that had no business going in.
Flames work hard, tie the game and lose on a late goal against. It was a good shot, but Smith's goaltending style is fundamentally flawed. He sits deep in his net and never challenges shooters.
