Mike Smith is garbage. Waive him. Please. How can Treliving/Peters be okay with this guy starting games still?

I really hope that the potential this team has is not squandered due to the play of Smith.

Flames might actually be duking it out with Tampa right now if not for points lost by Smith bed crapping.

Pretty bad when the team has to score 6 goals every time Smith is in net for a chance to win

Don't worry, Smith will start winning games as soon as Ryan scores on the PP!

I think it's over for Smith. Treliving needs to address the backup position with a trade because you can't expect the team to score 5 goals every time your backup is in the net. At this point there's really nothing to lose by keeping Gillies as the backup. I know the Flames have been trying to handle Smith's decline with class but too much is on the line. He shouldn't play another game for this team.

Worst part is that I think Smith knows it and management knows it.

But he’s not single handily costing the team wins. Smith is.

The only thing Smith stopped all night was MOMENTUM!!
How can you play for a guy like that?

Goals happen...

When a player makes a play and beats you, you just gotta tip your hat to them... but that is a much, much different thing than GIFTING the opposition goals.

that's the issue with Smith; he's given up goals a NHL player has no business allowing...

the Bruins 5 goal was as bad a goal as i've seen

Happy with the effort. As will be mentioned average NHL goaltending and we win.

I was happy to see if Smith would find his game, but pretty clear now this is his new level. Hard task for BT he needs to find a new back up option that hooefully doesn’t cost us much.

This is utter trash. Smith played like trash. I hope Tre does something about this.

On another note, I don’t get how Derek Wills can keep defending smith on fan 960

Tried to find a defense for Smith. Couldn't do it. I feel bad for him but he's done.
