Treliving rolled the dice on a 35 year old starter who was having problems staying healthy. And when he went down, so did the Flames already slim chance of hockey in May.
Even if Smith had stayed healthy, I doubt it would have made much difference. The Flames missed the play-offs by 12 points and Mike Smith was garbage after the All star break anyways.
The Smith/Lack/Rittich/Gillies combo was a fail.
