Mike Smith really sells it

There is no question that Max Pacioretty made contact with the back of Phoenix Coyotes goalie Mike Smith's leg in the first period on Tuesday when he was called for tripping.

There is no debate about this. But my goodness does Smith do a whale of a job making sure everybody in the arena knew it.

And down goes Smith!
