Some say, well Smith is not costing the Flames anything now as they are still winning.

Yeah, but what if at the end of the season, those points mean the Flames meet a tough team in the first round of playoffs compared to a weaker team?
The idea that Smith isn't costing the Flames because overall we're winning lots of games isn't a smart one, imo. It's an opinion bred out of watching a mediocre to crappy team for so many years and thinking "We're so much better now, why are we complaining about anything?", and not realizing what it truly takes to win a Cup in this league.

We've come so far and are closer than ever, but we're not there yet, and goaltending could still easily be our downfall this season.
