[PGT] Flames Shutout Predators 3-0

[DeluxeMoustache]

Personal opinion - ride the shutout. Play Smith
If he gets another shutout, play him again. You have a 3 day break after Colorado.

Continue until he lets in a goal, win or lose. The only way you break the shutout streak is if he has shutouts through the Toronto game Oct 29, then you commit to Rittich Oct 30 on the back to back.

(This is not going to happen, I know)

I dunno that they should move off of their original goalie plan. Smith also said he was stung a bit, and certainly had a huge workload in that game.

This is not the most embarrassing banner in sports—the Colts hold that title, and will probably raise a second banner to celebrate the fact. But it’s certainly up there with the worst in hockey, alongside such luminaries as the Oilers’ banner for Greatest Team (as voted on by fans), the Oilers’ banner for 100 consecutive sellouts, and the Oilers’ banner for Garth Brooks.

Another fun stat: Lindholm has both of the Flames GWG this season.

It honestly feels like we have 2 monahans now

I would start Smith until he lets in another goal.

If last year was any indication, this is actually when he plays his best. Not suggesting we do it again this year, but that's the job of the backup -- to pick up two points when you haven't played in forever...

Yeah that was a solid ATL. Nashville has some cool fans. Some impressively unbiased takes on there. I liked their uncovering of Boring Sean. Good to see confirmation of some of the things we're seeing with the team on the other side.
