Smith isn't a problem at all. Bad game last night and that's forgivable. He's been a bright spot during the win streak and this losing streak.
Stacking up this team on paper against most NHL clubs they should be doing much much better. Easily one of the most deep and rounded out teams the Flames have had since Iggy and Kipper in their prime.
You can blame loss after loss on player after player (Brouwer OTL vs Buf, Frolik L vs Vegas, Smith L vs TBL) but at some point you have to accept these players are being put in situations that are tough for them to succeed.
