Controversial NO-GOAL sends Oilers-Flames Game 5 to Overtime

With the score tied 4-4 and time winding down, Flames Mikael Backlund made a rush to the net and a nice play to get a shot on net. The puck would slip through the Oilers goalie Mike Smith's arm, and as it was going in, the puck goes in off Blake Coleman's skate when it was already going in.
