I didn't watch Niemi and I didn't know he was the one getting lit up. I based my opinion off Niemi's reputation and it makes sense the Flames should look to replace Lack since they have zero confidence in him.

Do I feel like a big man? No, of course not. I apologize for offending you by disagreeing with your statement.
The problem I’ve been having with this board lately (and not just in this instance) is that some posters tend to make reactionary/off the cuff statements that make little to no sense and there is nothing to back up their claims. These types of comments don’t generate positive discussion and I would argue that they degrade the quality of this message board.
Treliving obviously liked something about Lack otherwise he wouldn’t have acquired him. They are not about to cut him loose without even giving him one game (especially for Niemi).
There is nothing to suggest that the Flames Lack confidence in Eddie. He is here to be the number 2. This isn’t a 1a 1b situation like we’ve been used to in the past. Lack wont play much because he is the backup. Why would they not rely on Smith when he has been playing like an all star back there? Expect him to start 60-65 games this year.
