I have a lot of respect for Smith. I believe he works hard and is a fierce competitor. He has the characteristics you want in a senior player and you want that to rub off on the younger players. Which I think it does.

However, the ability he has to be the number 1 goalie on a competitive play off team is questionable. He has got to be more frustrated in what is happening than we are watching him being unable to consistently make saves when he is needed.

We have a very good team, but even making the playoffs is a crapshoot with our goaltending situation.

This is Treliving’s greatest challenge and could be what defines his time at this organisation.

Also, special shout out to the refs: you suck.
