Smith was great in the first half. Pretty awful in the second half. I know he didn't get a ton of goal support, but he also really faded down the stretch - whether from overuse or his injury, who knows... But I don't have an issue with the C. Smith isn't the kind of goalie you can stick in there for 60-65 games and expect a top-level performance.
With Smith next year, the Flames need a 1B kind of guy to take some of the load - not a Rittich or Gillies.
