If I can find something else to do, I've started to try to avoid watching games when Mike Smith starts. I do scoreboard watch though and the point about timing is a good one. Last night, as an example:
- Got a notification about an early Washington goal... 3 minutes in. Yup, sounds about right.
- Flames tie it, great! Now I'm nervously waiting for the quick answer. Yup, there it is...
- 1st intermission over. Praying Washington doesn't get an early goal again... Damn it, Washington scores in under a minute LOL.
I get the comments that there isn't much Smith can do if the team is playing like hot garbage in front of him but... Isn't it a little strange that they seem to be hot garbage in front of Smith and not Rittich, the majority of times they are playing poorly? Maybe it's just coincidence or Smith just has bad luck...
