Anyone catch the Mike Smith interview yesterday? Boy this guy just comes off as a smug, crabby *** to me. I would never defend this guy just based on the type of person he seems to be.
Some of his memorable quotes:
- "Media must be bored"
- "Like to make up stories"
- "You don’t make to where we are with poor or mediocre goaltending"
- When asked about his thoughts on the fans, said "Doesn’t care," cares about what his teammates think.
- Regarding his performance this season, the occasional bad game or 2 = "Blip in the radar"
So, he attacks the media despite a lot of them defending him all season long. Smith must be delusional or confused because the team is exactly where they are despite mediocre or poor goaltending. Statistically speaking, they're in the bottom half of the league in save% and Smith himself has been amongst the worst goalies in the entire league. Lastly, that blip in the radar that he mentioned, is actually like 70% of his season so far. He's had 2 decent stretches followed up by crapping the bed on a regular basis. How anyone still defends this guy is beyond me. Bad goaltender + bad personality.
