The only way there would have been a 1A/1B situation is if Smith struggled and Lack played well. Both of these things had to happen and for him to get more playing time and neither of these things happened. He's a big guy but a marginal NHL goaltender. End of story.
The guy played in four games as a Flame and his opinion on anything Flames is as insightful as Nicklas Grossmann commenting on last year's team.
