Kind of embarrassing how he mentioned in is interview that the Smitty chants sounded a lot better then the boos. Boo the game, boo the effort or the outcome. But to chastise a player when he makes a routine save after letting in a couple softies is a dick move on the fans' part. Imagine being humiliated in front of 18,000 people for not doing your job.
I'll admit I got goosebumps during those chants and I'm sure Smit did too. It couldn't have happened to a better guy at that moment.
Funny enough, last time I heard a goalie's name chant that loud was also vs the Avs in Kipper's last season.
