Guy had a solid 6 game run where he put up elite numbers. Now he's have a rough night.
We can be critical and rational at the same time.

Why does he need his nuts sucked every time he does his job? He's (currently) the #1 goalie for one of the best teams in the NHL. Everybody on this team should be held to a high standard, and when you have an aging, goofy, floppy goalie that has been consistently letting in comical, soft, back-breaking goals all season long you need to start calling a spade a spade. It's not like anyone has some weird hate-boner for Smith. Everyone's happy when he plays well. The issue is consistency. At this point nobody should be surprised when shots like the 4th goal tonight go in. And for a team like the Flames, that's not remotely acceptable.
