At best I thought Smith would be Elliott-like. At worst I envisioned a lottery quality goalie.

I'm so glad to have been wrong. He'll obviously have his rough patches. But you can see it in his eyes. He wants the team to do well so bad and will do everything in his power to make it happen.

Just once in my life I'd like to see a combination of good goaltending, good offence and good defence. Instead it seems like we get 1 of these things, maybe a combination of 2 at the best. I will be so upset if the skaters waste a season with goaltending like this.
