I would call him a defenseman. He isn't used to shutdown the other teams best players because he is not good enough.
Not true at all but I guess if you have nothing to argue might as well make up some bogus hypothetical situation and then make up what my reaction would be.
He is a fake tough, and called that by many Flames fans before he got here, because he usually starts the punching/pushing once the linesmen are present to make sure he doesn't actually have to back-up his actions.

Since I would argue most people view 'stay at home' and 'shutdown' defenseman as the same thing, can we call him a stay at home D and call it a life?
Stop arguing over adjectives.
ALSO. I know this is a case of causation does not = correlation, but since Smid has been on the team (And yes, Gio being back as well...) they started being able to get through games allowing only one goal. That's something.
