The good news is I think they are playing the good goalie so maybe they have a chance. Someone tell McDavid and Leon they play today so they need to show up.

That's good to hear. Everyone seems to love Smith so much, but he is not best goalie on this team and should be getting less starts.

I have no problem with Smith. He did his job. He came in, pushed Koskinen to be better, gave the Oilers quality starts and took away games to lessen the work load. But he is 37 yrs old, he is a back up at this point in his career. I would even say he's a good back up. But he's a back up so they need to play him like a back up.

Smith had a similar start last season with the Flames, lost the job to Rittich.
He eventually got the job back and became the starter and their MVP all the way to the playoffs, I think Rittich had only 5 losses all season last year but Smith never gave the reigns back.
I'd ride Koskinen more obviously but Smith has shown he can finish strong.
