Smith went behind his own net and tried to pass the puck to a teammate, but instead it bounced off the back of goalie Grant Fuhr and into the Edmonton net, giving the Flames a 3-2 lead.<br /><br />Perry Berezan was credited with the goal, which ended the Oilers' chances to win a third straight Stanley Cup.<br /><br />Steve Smith went on to become a solid defensive defenseman and won three Stanley Cups with the Oilers before retiring in 2001. But he remains best remembered for this unfortunate mistake that may have cost the Oilers a chance at winning five straight Stanley Cup titles.
