Hey, if you are referring to me, you will notice I haven’t been bashing him lately. For good reason. In fact I have been giving him accolades for saves etc. Just didn’t do it in GDT tonight, but was gonna here, but then I seen your dumb post.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about me, so you're all good.
I think all I've been saying is that this is just a hot streak and likely an aberration, so enjoy it while it lasts, but expect the other shoe to drop at any time. I have been rejecting the thought that this is because he's just so focussed on his craft that he's playing among the best hockey of his entire life at 38 years old...

Adam, I didn't think he was a starter at all either. I thought he was a useful experienced backup in the twilight. But watching his positioning, his reactions, his tactics and his focus, it really looks like he's for real this year. Like he's being coached by a skilled goaltender and is constantly working on his game. Koskinen looks the exact opposite - like a typical Oiler-coached goalie. Watch Smith's aggressive forward motion with his blocker on shots from passes across the slot - he attacks towards the player while Koskinen drops his arm instead. Smith challenges as much as he can and forces the opposition to work hard to score - the closest to CuJo I've seen here since CuJo. He's still going to have some dud games, I'm sure, but I don't see wheels falling off in a short season.
