no argument here...
Smith erased a lot of mistakes and provided confidence to a team that was, seemingly, fragile.
something like a decent power play was potentially good for a few more wins during the season however and that could have tipped the balance.
Calgary was a peripheral playoff team, so i would not be surprised to see calgary in the playoffs again this year, following a cycle of in every other year until they get talent on the roster
