With Mike Smith starting it off letting in two goals within 50 seconds of the game starting as well as another one 5 minutes later to make it 3-0 Calgary
Calgary and their fan base definitely got into Smith's head, they even gave him a electrifying cheer after he made simple saves to taunt him on.

Mike Smith was then yanked out of goal, the Oilers second goaltender who was hot during the regular season (Mikko Koskinen) was put in goal.
By the time the second period was done we already had a whopping 11 goals scored in the game, Jacob Markstrom the Vezina finalist was even having one of the worst games of his career.
With the game being a absolute circus starting with Mike Smith as the first act of the night we expected the Edmonton Oilers to stick with 6 foot 7 Mikko Koskinen for game 2- but the Oilers announce Mike Smith will be started once again..
