[GT] Flames @ Bruins

[Hockey-and_stuff]

Only Donatos 3rd assist? Guy seemed like a surefire NHL'er last season but looks like he's had a rocky year.

Id rather watch Gillies softies then Smith softies

[DAN0383]

I can't decide which was worse, year two of the below, or year two of Mike Smith.

[dieHARDflameZ]

I’m not a Smith apologist and I realize he is the easy target but how anybody blames him for the second goal is beyond me, that was a great tip.

[Angelino]

I wish Mike Smith the best on his retirement after the season.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Get more shots and action at he net

Ya, except for the fact that he didn't even start to move until it was already in the net. Every other pro goalie gets down and that is in the pads.

No it isn't Smith was slow to get in his stance. Which is no surprise Smith is slow at just about everything he does the reason he stays deep in his net is to try and compensate he can't move side to side properly.

Yeah, rough one for the third pair to start. It will happen and they will improve.

Hiller, and it's not close. Hiller had the worst save percentage of any goalie in 2015-16 with 25+ starts, and the gap between his save percentage and the second-worst save percentage was the largest such gap in NHL history (.022%).

Shouldn't be surprised that fans are frustrated with continual poor starts and soft goals each game. Are people being a little emotional? Probably but Smith has been bad for some time now and those frustrations are going to boil over.

When you're always letting in soft goals you aren't going to get the benefit of doubt for the rest.

Yep. Anders Nilsson was second-worst, with a .901. Hiller had an .879.
