I'd be all right if I never saw Smid on the ice again. If Engelland was bad Smid was 100 times worse. It's been a long time since Smid has played, I honestly can't see him coming back without some conditioning time in the A first.

I think we get a little to caught up in numbering pairings. At the end of the day some combination of Hamilton, Giordano and Brodie will be 1 2 3 in ice time. In tight 3rd periods you will see the pairings mixed up and the 6th defenseman getting very little ice time.
