####ing embarrassing defense. Goaltending isn't much better.

Maybe we need a blowout of that kind of proportion to wake the team up. This isn't good enough remotely.

A good goalie finds a way to make that save, even if he'd have been excused for letting it in.
Mike Smith has been absolute garbage for most of his time as a Flame. He started great, but since the All-Star break he has been absolutely terrible. He has a long road to regaining any kind of confidence in net, let alone the benefit of the doubt.
Has D been terrible? Absolutely awful, yes. But time and time again, Mike Smith is rarely there to save the guys a period. If you make a mistake in front of Mike Smith, he will let it in.
Goal #1 was on Smith IMO. Sam could have covered him much better, so he's a pair with Smith on that - but Bennett's poor coverage is only on the scoresheet when your last line of defence is Smith.
Goal #2 was a tip with no one in front, but it would be damn nice to have a goalie that would stop one or two of those
Goal #3 was Smith letting out a rebound, and no one on D helping him out.
Could this be 3-0 with a great goalie in net? Absolutely. I don't think I've had too much great to say about anything the Flames have done tonight.
But night after night, Mike Smith is not the goalie that helps us win. He'll have the odd night here or there that we can hang our hat on for a month, but Mike Smith is not the goalie that wins you much of anything.

This team just simply can’t play defense. This is ugly.

Smith is not good, we are going nowhere with him as our #1. He's definitely not the only problem though.

That's it for me. The defense is an embarrassment.

You know, it’s a game where you should try Neal on second line

Crappy team is still crappy. Defence is a major problem, and Smith ain't much better.
