I hope this doesn't drag on too much longer. I just know there'll be some sort of excuse to explain Smith's next loss, hot opposing goalie, defensive breakdowns, lack of offense, bad calls etc... and this will continue to drag on.

Are you talking about the Flames or the fanbase? Of course the team will do their best to minimize the significance of a poor performance in public, but I very much doubt the same is said behind closed doors.
As for the fanbase, I don't see a lot of excuses these days. People seem pretty closely aligned in thinking that Smith's poor play presents a problem
