Hahaha! What?
I acknowledge that he is playing poorly now, but Smith for a long, long time was a very acrobatic goalie who routinely made ridiculous saves on what looked to be sure goals.
I should not be surprised with how often it happens, but I am astonished with how readily people make things up to validate their thoughts or feelings.
So, in summary:
• Mike Smith has been an excellent goalie for years.
• He is not playing well now, and looks nothing like how he did even last year, to say nothing of his larger body of work.
