Huge. Huuuuge regulation win. Bravo Draigentmoto.
Smith played well. I know Adam isn’t a fan but I like Smith’s compete. The goals he let in tonight, cross slot passes that you can point to defensive breakdowns (goal 2 while we’re on pp..).
My boy Riley Sheahan gets another one closer to dub diggies.
Yams has more goals on the season than Milan Lucic.
Oh! And we got an empty netter!

It's the "compete" with Smith that I don't like. Too much chaos. Too much time out of position and fighting to get back. It looks like he's working really hard...but that's not a good thing from your goalie. It means he's more often out of position.
That one goal against was REALLY ugly and there was a point where it looked like a last-shot-wins kind of night. Ultimately though, tonight is a night where Smith finishes above .900 in save percentage and the Oilers win, so I'll go easy on him here. He was perfectly adequate to beat the 'Hawks tonight.

I mean he IS our best puck mover from the backend, so he’s going to have to leave his crease to get the puck up ice a few (dozen) times a game.
Also, team (and Smith) hasn’t lost in regulation in 2020 when Smith starts (yet). He sports an 8-0-2 record this calendar year.
