Yeah, I was thinking about this the other day: goalies don't often get moved at the Trade Deadline, and when they do it seems like most struggle to adjust. I don't think it is possible to trade for an upgrade in net right now because the market is just not there. And I am extremely Leary about trading for a goalie at the TD because these moves seldom work out. I have always maintained that the solution is not forthcoming until the season ends.

BSD has to become our number one, and flames know that. we have no real options, so best ease him in, and let Smith provide the controversy while allowing to Rittich prove himself in the shadows without the fans or team turning on him.

Smith has played very well prior to the bad goal in the second period last night. I still think he sustained an injury early in the game and tried to play through it. He had to make a couple big saves in the first minute of the game, and was very slow to get up. I think he tweaked something.
