Brodie needs to shoot that so much faster.

I get that Smith is a strong personality and needs to get back on his game, but you can't keep letting the hill turn into a mountain when every minute of icetime is so crucial at this point in the season.

In retrospect, probably should have pulled him after the third goal.

Don't know how much Smith should get flack for that. Complete defensive letdown to give Boychuk that much time and room to wind up that close and then a uncontested rebound.

Useless positivity of the night; Brouwer had had some nice faceoff wins

Yeah, I don't know if I can handle another year of him. I don't think he's the sole reason this team has underachieved (though he's a part of it), but this style of hockey just isn't entertaining.

Fact thst every bounce seems to end up perfectly on an Islanders stick doesnt help either

Glen Johnson at intermission talked about how he couldn’t understand why the Flames weren’t just throwing everything at the net given the Islanders goaltending and how the Islanders completely changed their approach as soon as they saw Smth was off to shoot from everywhere.


He basically called Gulutzan an imbecile.

Smith is not the answer in goal for this team. He stood on his head and looked great earlier in the season and that’s it. He’s been getting a pass and the benefit of the doubt ever since

And the team doesn’t play well in front of him anymore

What is wrong with this team at home? They just play like crap time and again. Hard to watch and harder to cheer for.

Just disgusting.

I know it sounds crazy but why not take a page from the islanders book and just start putting more on net. Enough of the down low cycle or d to d... get traffic to the net and shoot the damn puck!!

This exactly. Roger's took a big idea that could work with great production and decent financial commitment.

But like everything they do, they sold the big idea and then injected pennies to pull it off. The bands they get play very small gigs and Rogers tries to sell them as a huge national performance that millions should tune into.

Smith wanted the chance to get out of the desert and compete in meaningful games. He gets the chance and now the team has to send the sheets out for cleaning after what he's done in the bed. If you say you're ready to play then you need to be ready.....

When hasn't it been? There's absolutely no reason for a Flames fan to tune in on Tuesday.

He was never meant to be the answer. Mike Smith won't be here after next season. I thought it was pretty obvious that he's just a stop gap until one of the younger guys is ready.

That said, Smith has been the least of this team's issues this year. He's been bad tonight but they can't score. Kind of as simple as that.
