he's a good, solid goalie with stretches of greatness. over the course of a season Smith will help earn your team way more points than he'll lose by bad play or a bad goal.
when in front of a goalie they can't trust, I believe teams play scared which causes poor play. I think the flames players trust smith's ability and it isn't an issue.

Some fans literally blame the goalie for every goal. It makes no sense but to those types of fans almost every shot is stoppable and blame can therefore always be assigned to the goalie.
It’s a fundamental flaw in the way they evaluate hockey.
