This is a very, very ridiculous statement, the Flames have been playing really good hockey for a long while now and there have not been any floating going on at all. Mike Smith bailed them out for a bunch of games in the early portion of the season for sure, but lately the goaltending has not been that great, and it also has not been necessary for Smith to win games on his own as the team has stepped up their game. This team need decent goaltending to compete, which is true for every team aspriring to be contenders or even make the playoffs, but from the looks of it so far this is not a team that needs to ride Vezina level goaltending, even if it would obviously help the cause.
