It's easier to pin losses directly on goaltenders, and the evidence about Smith's misplays is irrevocable compared to Neal's purported struggles. We can easily examine goals against; it's hard to assess individual shifts when there are maybe 15-20 a game. But based on my viewing, Smith has directly contributed to the Flames' losses this year far more than Neal has. I'm sure much of this board would agree. You may not, and that's fine -- it's your opinion.

Sorry, you can’t move the goal posts. I didn’t force you to make that Neal argument (ie: we’re having success so you’re content with the Neal situation as long as the team success continues)
...and now you’re stuck having two different rules for two different players based simply on your subjective view of a player. Be consistent man!
