Hopefully management doesn't bury their head in the sand like you're doing. Smith's GAA of over three and save percentage of .888 is incentive enough.

Two Smith games ago 2 goals would have won it, since he only let in one. Of course, the Flames scored 7 but that's irrelevant.
It's not like the Flames bailed him out last night. The skaters were equally at fault on every goal except the 5 on 3, IMO. Did they score enough to win? Yes. Did he save enough to win? Yes.
Are there better backup goalies out there than Smith? Sure. Are they available? Doubtful, and the incremental improvement might not be worth the value asked anyway.
