Smith is bad lately but the team isnt doing him any favours with regards to traffic in front. When you have 3 flames practically standing in the crease it draws alot of traffic.
Smith also looks like he's forgotten how to move into shots, seems to be trying to keep his body stationary and flinch at shots. I wonder if he may be fighting a nagging lower body or back injury, as he looks slow and awkward compared to even the start of the season. Wouldnt surprise me if he's playing through pain to try and get another contract.
Also sigalet...man...every goalie starts playing on the goal line after about a season of being here. Its like he thinks all goalies need to play like lundquist.
Benzo is a beast.
