Smith let’s in 4 or 5 1st period goals. Tre gets so frustrated he trades him mid game. But not during intermission or a commercial break even. Mid shift 5 on 5 Peters frantically calls Smith to the bench. Thinking he’s missed a delayed penalty call Smith obliges and skates to the bench. Confused when a 6th skater doesn’t hop on the ice, he’s quickly ushered aside and told he’s been traded and to leave the arena immediately. But so angered is Tre that he refuses to provide Smith transportation. Instead he’s forced to borrow those roller skate guards from Rittich (who is now in net, posts a shutout in relief, two assists including the gwg and a fight, named 1st 2nd and 3rd Star) and is forced to embarrassingly roller skate in full equipment all the way home.
His name is never spoken of again. Tre doesn’t even announce the trade, just pretends Smith never even played for the Flames.
