Last night (game 5) was SV% of .884 was not good enough. Game 1 (L) was .886. Game 2 (W) was 1.000. Game 3 (W) was .957. Game 4 (L) was .933. His SV% this year was .915 but I think he needs to be at least .930 or better for Edmonton to win the next two in a row.

Quick has a .887
Smith has a .930
for the series
Oilers are getting worked out there...they are getting the goaltending and still losing so if Smith is falling off we are about to see a blowout
