Had you told me coming into the series that after 4 games Smith would be one of the best goalies in the playoffs and that he would have a .931 save percentage I would have felt like the Flames had a good shot at winning the cup.
Instead we are a game away from elimination mostly because the rest of our team has been horrendous.

There were a lot of comments throughout the year that if the flames had good goaltending we'd be better than Tampa. Seems like that has been born out in the playoffs.
If they can get back their pre-ASG mojo at home for Game 5 I think they still have a chance, but they've dug a pretty big hole here.
