Montreal Canadiens defenseman Tom Gilbert did a most embarrassing thing against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

In overtime, Gilbert accidentally tripped his goalie, Dustin Tokarski, while skating with Edmonton's Anton Lander. With Tokarski down for the count, Lander swatted in the game-winning goal to give the Oilers a 4-3 win.

Tokarski could only look on as Lander easily knocked in a rebound.
