Who's that better goalie that was available?
|
Well, we'll never know now, will we?
|
Nice cop out.
I don't love Smith but I have a hard time thinking even with his gafs, there was a better goalie available. He's won 8 games, has a 2.70 GA and a .927 with 2 shutouts. Kuemper has a 2.44 and .904. If you are going to spend a 1st, you better make sure the player you bring back is a clear upgrade.
|
Smith single-handedly gave the Kings Game 1 and allowed in a goal from a different area code against Calgary. He let in about 7-8 bad goals in the Flames series, but we outscored our problems.
|
So what?
Are they not in the conference final? You are happy they made it right or would you prefer them not to make it this far so far, so you can do more I told you so's?
Blows my mind how I see all the time various players still get hated on. They are in the West Finals but players will make many great plays to help them win "YEAH BUT remember ...." I have said it before and I stand by this comment. I think there are fans of this team who if they win the cup, will complain about how they won it, will complain about a trade or a signing or something. Smith is top 5 in save percentage and got them into the Western Final beating out a supposed cup contender in the Flames in 5 "YEAH BUT he gave up that bad goal in game 1 of the Kings and has let in so bad goals."
|
Why can't people be happy the team is doing well AND discuss the process of how they got here? What's wrong with trying to figure out if they're actually a good team or if they got a little lucky by facing a bad team that almost beat them and a goalie who historically collapsed? Can they repeat their success against Colorado by outscoring their problems? Maybe. But I have my concerns and since I have to wait a couple days to find out, we might as well talk about it.
It's less about that one bad goal in game whatever and more about figuring out how they somehow won a series despite giving up 20 goals and 3 leads. That series could have easily been 3-2 Calgary after 5, it wasn't but it also wasn't the 5 game blow out some people seem to think it was.
|
I would turn it around and say what is your ultimate goal for the team? Do you want them to win as many games as they can, the dream being the cup or win a certain way? If the Oilers win every game 6-5 but win the cup, does the cup win mean a little less than if they won every game 2-0?
So I still stand by my comment. The Oilers are in the Western Conference final since 2006 which everyone wanted. To do it, the Oilers beat down their arch rivals in 5 games. IN order to make it this far, you need good goaltending which for the most part, they got it so far. The comment was made they should have used their 1st to get a better goalie. You look at Smith's numbers and gafs and all, his numbers are pretty darn good but they should have went out and traded for a better guy. Don't know who that better goalie is but they should have got one. Fleury, the big name out there, who was deemed the best available but would not come to Edmonton, went to the Wild. It cost the Wild a 1st to get 5 games, 3.04 GA and .906%.
