Alex Edler Bulldozes Goalie Mike Smith, Fight Breaks Out

Give it up for Alex Edler, guys. He was finally able to do what every hockey player in the Western Conference dreams about at night….running over Mike Smith.

Smith withstands barrage, bails out Coyotes

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Coyotes probably should have skated off the ice Friday night down a game to open the Western Conference semifinals. They probably shouldn't have even had the chance to win in overtime. But they did, and it was all thanks to -- who else? -- goaltender Mike Smith. As usual, Smith did all the heavy lifting in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals,...
