Flames' Blake Coleman, fans baffled by controversial disallowed goal vs. Oilers

The Calgary Flames were kicked out of the playoffs Thursday night, but it wasn't without controversy.

With less than six minutes remaining in the third period of Game 5 against the arch rival Edmonton Oilers, the Flames broke a 4-4 stalemate when forward Blake Coleman crashed the net and appeared to score the go-ahead goal. It was a made-for-movie ending to a game that featured brilliance and chaos.

Unfortunately for the Flames, after an extensive review it was determined that Coleman kicked the puck into the back of the net and the game was back to even.
