So Conny made comments just prior to the trade deadline regarding the goaltending situation, however I seriously doubt if any move will occur.

I would suspect that the likelihood is very slim that a goalie move is made, however forgetting about Smith's gaffes whilst attempting to play the puck, that Donato goal is inexcusable.

Most Junior B goaltenders make that save and it's a back breaker at that stage in the 3rd period.

Goaltending is the Achilles heel for this team, until you look at the details and then the real issue seems squarely pointed at Smith.

The intensity is going to ramp up during the last 17 games, so what do you do?

Roll with what you have?

Keep playing Smith more down the stretch and risk more soft goals?

Play Rittich exclusively except for a back to back game?

Play BSD until he falters?

That was a poor team performance in the 3rd period last night, however Dubnyk kept the Wild in the game during the first 2 periods.

Not sure how often the Flames goaltenders are capable of stealing a game down the stretch, however I am really not confident that Smith is the guy for the Flames to close out the Pacific, the West, or enter the playoffs on a roll.
