Even Price has garbage games. He was pulled on Saturday vs. Washington during a game where he reminded me of the Hiller and Elliott days we all know too well.

Smith is the first Flames goaltender in years where my heart doesn't leap up into my throat with every single shot.
The number of shots the Flames faced last year is also how many times I cringed in the whole year, which may not be good for my health. It took me only up until the first breakaway shot, that Smith saved, for my cringes to disappear. I'm much happier watching the Flames play now. May Smith continue this high level of play.
