No I agree, all I’m asking for is a big save once in a while. It’s just deflating when some of these goals go in.

Blaming him for every single thing that goes wrong with the team is just so tiresome.


In the NHL if you allow two bad goals in a game, you’ve effectively lost your team the game on most nights.

Smith is horrendous. I’m not blaming him for “everything”, but with average NHL goaltending this is a 2-1 Flames lead.

I think that's a big part of why the piling on comes fast and furious.

Last goal wasnt Smiths fault. But it does feel like he's the reason we're losing.

For sure.

But he needs to be better at some point this season. Our goalies are getting outplayed far too often, which is getting tiresome too.

Nice save by the goalpost there. That's the kind of clutch goaltending the team needs.

Derek Ryan is a terrible fit on this roster.

What’s tiresome is listening to the same 5 people making excuse after excuse for what is easily the worst starting goaltender in the NHL being it eye test or purely on stats. Smith effectively spots the other team a two goal lead night in and night out.

It appears every game thread we have people that defend Smith almost no matter what. There is enough cold hard data at this point to stop. This game is 2-1 Calgary with a competent NHL level goalie in our net.

People can try to defend him all they like, the facts matter (except in American politics). Look at the cold hard data
