Man I get tired of the slagging.
Team had a crappy night. One goalie had a crappy night. The other wasn't stellar, but wasn't awful either. And one goalie was both outstanding and lucky.
It sure was not Smith's fault the Flames lost this one.

I didn’t say “all night”. But there was one specific shift where he gave it away twice.
May have coughed it up more tonight than Rittich on that one shift, but up the boards, which was I guess better, based on the fact that Burns scored.
Also, never said it was Smith’s fault, but making the point that he is not the solid gold stick handler that people believe he is, for some reason
