Hunter Smith helps take Generals past Oceanic in Memorial Cup

QUEBEC CITY -- Hunter Smith is no goat.

He's a 6-foot-6, 215-pound battering ram.

So when the giant Oshawa forward watched Rimouski tie his first Memorial Cup game from the penalty box, he decided a brick wall wasn't going to stop him from making amends.

The Flames prospect grabbed the puck with 10 minutes left in the third, bulled down the ice past helpless Oceanic defender Simon Bourque and popped home his own rebound to give the OHL-champion Generals a 4-3 win before 8,904 Saturday at Pepsi Colisee.

"If we lost that game, I probably would've taken it right on my shoulders," the 19-year-old Windsor native said.
