I wonder. In 3vs3 OT the goalie rarely has space and time to play the puck. Most shots are from in close followed by attackers crashing. Might be useful if a Flames player under pressure wants to back pass to the goalie.
Smith's ability to control a rebound and make a save are invaluable. Get the whistle and try to regain control from the face off.
