Thata a boy Adam. Way to come in and piss all over a guy.
|
It's not pissing all over him. It's just a reality. Guys who are soon to be 39 don't suddenly get better at hockey, and Mike Smith has been bad for a while now. He may have a few more good games left in him, but he's just not someone you can rely on at all and it would be a mistake to think that the Oilers can. That's just the facts of life.
|
Then what do you call after a win where he did his job coming in to devalue the win because the opponent wasn't a cup contender. You then point out his past seasons and make the point he's probably going to get worse.
I don't think there is a person in here expecting Smith to be pushing for a vezina or turn back the clock to when he was a top tier goalie. There isn't a person in here who doesn't think they need someone else at some point. His age alone means they need someone else. Most people are looking for a solid effort, that's it. He came in after a very long lay off and injury. He was solid, made the stops he was suppose, made a couple of big saves when called upon. He did his job and the team got the win. I don't even think I saw a person going over the top about how he played, everyone was just happy he put in a solid effort.
What value does bringing up nothing but negativity do for anyone other than to bring people down?

Mark Spector literally wrote an article yesterday about how Mike Smith could just be the Saviour for the Oilers. I think it's relevant to keep in mind that even if he exceeds expectations now and then, he's not good and he's not going to get better.

He’s not goin to get better. He’s past the age of improvement, but his being there allows Koskinen rest. His being there sparks a quiet room. For this team, his being there is a positive.
