Yes, it appears that even the coaching staff has now been conditioned to expect an extremely poor goaltending performance from Smith, when its only poor or fair it has become "ok".

He totally had a good showing in SJ. You are letting one iffy goal colour your view of the game. The Flames didn't deserve to win that one and it would have been 5-1 if Smith hadn't made a bunch of tough saves.
