It wasn't even really a rocket of a shot - just a half slap IIRC. It was, to be fair to Tony E, a kind of sneaky shot. Plett had a lot of skill for a guy with his PMs.
ETA: I completely forgot they got into the POs in an Eastern division (Patrick). Though, to be fair, their points would have put them in second in the Smythe.
