Many (myself included) rushed to judge players like Smith and Ryan last year. They both helped the Flames win 50. There's a lot of hockey left to play and a lot of room for the Flames to grow

The Flames often outscored the goals allowed by Smith’s crappy goaltending, and could do so as they were the second highest scoring team.
I’m not concerned about this year yet, but I am not interested to pretend Smith wasn’t garbage for most of last year
