Against all odds, the Flames are shut out in 4 games.

But wait!.........

That's what everybody was moaning about with 10 seconds left in game four, the score 1-0 Colorado.

The Flames had been pressing hard with the goalie pulled, but a bad bounce leading to a faceoff in the Flames zone meant Smith had to come back in.

Flames win the faceoff and Smith races for the bench for the extra attacker.

He's 20 feet from the bench when the puck bounces right on Smith's stick.

Smith, still on his side of the redline, and seeing 3 seconds on the clock, thinks, "wtf, why not?" and shoots the puck in the general direction of the Colorado goal.

Grubauer, already looking skywards with arms in the air celebrating the sweep, doesn't see the puck slide between his legs and into the net, tying the score 1-1 with 1 second on the clock.

Of course, the rest is history. Flames win in quintuple overtime, and then win the next three games in the series en-route to the cup.

So Smith.
