It is the same situation. Just like the goal on Markstrom it tied the game but with plenty of time left. You're saying bad goals deflate teams. It didn't deflate the Oilers. And Smith wasn't exactly playing like a Conn Smythe candidate so you could trust him to shut it down the rest of the game.
That was game 4 in the playoffs. Lose that and the series is 2-2 and the Flames take back home ice. This game 7 of an 82 game season where you're 5-1 not 1-5.
