Nice save by Smith there in close.

Smith's woken up a bit at least. Nothing spectacular there but making some saves

Yeah I know......do you think you're the first person to think That?

Smith is certainly athletic, looking more comfortable too.

Sloppy Sloppy Sloppy Sloppy Sloppy, why does this team always look like a deer in headlights to start off a season?!

[PugnaciousIntern]

Oh boy. The ups and downs of Smith hahaha.

At least hockey will be exciting one way or another!

I'm just happy they're icing a mostly NHL roster at this point in the pre-season. Work the rust out now, not like last year

The season started already?

[getbak]

Is this Smith's first time wearing the white pads in a game? Hopefully that's to blame for the weak five-hole goal.

Well, good thing this isn't the start of the season!

Although I agree, they need to play a little better. I know it's just preseason but come on guys.

Tanner Glass is the talk of the broadcast, thank Christ Eddie Lack is not starting with his dad in the crowd.

[erikk3]

Is this how often he normally plays, or tries to play, the puck?
If so I'd say we're more likely looking at 1-2 bad goals per game than 1-2 per season like people have been saying

I think I'd rather they talk about Lack's dad

Yes he's very overrated playing the puck. He will cost us goals and I used to look forward to playing Mike Smith for that reason.

He can play the puck but his decision making is terrible.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Nice play by Hamilton, nice tip by Versteeg, nice save.

[ComixZone]

Liking what I'm seeing from Versteeg + Bennett.
