The Phoenix Coyotes are still playing in the postseason due to the stellar performance of goaltender Mike Smith.

He's stopped pretty much everything he's faced so far, and has even been one of the best goalies in the league this postseason when it comes to facing quality scoring chances.

Unfortunately, he was the victim of a really bad bounce off the glass in the first period of their Western Conference Semifinal game on Friday night. Nashville's Brandon Yip was in the right place at the right time and was able to pounce for one of the easiest goals he's ever going to score in the NHL.

The video...



Smith is one of the best puckhandling goalies in the league, but there really isn't much he can do about that. Sometimes the puck doesn't bounce your way, and that's a great example of how luck can play a big part in a game.
