Okay I've gone back and read all the posts, and I still don't really get it. Your pro goaltending, I get that. But the gist of the post that Textcritic was responding to was that the flames are fortunate to be over .500 because of their lack of balanced scoring. You said that exceptional goaltending has been responsible for some of those wins (and it pretty much always is in a win). And I don't disagree with that sentiment, Smith has been well beyond my expectation. But Textcritic, I believe, was trying to make the point that the games aren't as lopsided as indicated by the lack of scoring on the 3rd and 4th line. They aren't "Fortunate" to be in the situation they find themselves in. That I 100% agree with. They are, infact, unlucky not to be in a better position if the 3rd and 4th lines were contributing even a little bit.
