IDK I watch a lot of hockey...at the start of the year the Flames were giving up ridiculous amounts of chances. Since about the midway point Calgary gives up some of the fewest high danger chances in the league...often a handful per game
I think Flames fans have seen so much bad goaltending that slightly above average really knocks our socks off. Smith's save percentage is 15th in the NHL...he wouldn't be getting a sniff at the vezina.
Then add Gillies, Lack, Rittich lol (you don't want to see those combined numbers) Overall the Flames goal tending has been average
