I watched the game and didn’t think there were a lot of players that looked great save for Mangiapane, Giordano, Dube, and Ryan, but I don’t really care.
I know people are nervous about goaltending, but I think it is for the wrong reasons. I am not terribly concerned about Smith’s preseason play, but having said that, it would be very good if he could turn in a dominating performance at the Dome the next time he plays. The biggest problem with him last year was not his play tailing off at the end of the year, it was the inexplicable disparity between how he played at home v. on the road. The Flames MUST be better in Calgary this year, and that starts with Mike Smith.
