NOBODY HERE AT TheScore.ie plays ice hockey, so it’s easy to point fingers.

But we’re pretty confident that even we would have managed to score the sitter which Craig Smith of the Nashville Predators missed last night.

I mean, Smith could have walked the puck over the line and into the Toronto Maple Leafs’ empty net and nobody would have batted an eyelid.

But instead, he decided to finish with a flourish and ended up with a miss that almost seems to defy the laws of physics.

The Preds went on to win 4-1 anyway, but something tells me his team-mates won’t be quick to let him forget this.
