There is nothing more Smith or anyone can do can do to get his game back. That ship has sailed. Smith is done.

Not even Mr Sticky can overcome Smith's goaltending...

Because none of that #### matters as long as Smith is the goalie. Team will go nowhere

I think it was a stern warning as to how close that was to a blind side hit o top of charging. Maybe not a head hit but a dangerous play none the less. The kind of plays the league doesn't want.

Any type of powerplay is a momentum killer. Lets just not have them.

This is realistically a 5-1 game without that lucky whistle. This was a fun game, but it's pretty damn clear that this team needs to swing 4+ more nights than not with him in net.
What is stopping them from giving Rittich a shot to fix this. Smith is obviously not the stingy goalie this PP needs.

I hear that Gillies has had a rough start as well, so he might not be the best call up option if we send smyth down.

The Flames have a gift here. Time for the powerplay to arrive.

Never Start Smith at Home again ..... Let the faithful see some wins already....
I would love to see a boycott in the stands if smith is announced as the starter next home game, although i would feel terrible for those who wasted money on the ticket.

Flames can regroup on the long power play. Pot two on it and play hard the rest of the game.
