The Return of a Legend
It's entirely possible that Gillies is a better goalie than Lack. I don't watch Gillies enough to know. But the backup goalie is not always the second-best goalie in your organization if you have a solid #1, which we now do.
I just know we need a capable #2 goalie who can play some games and actually win them. Smith has played all the games up until this point, that tells me how the Flames feel about Lack. Lack was brutal in the preseason, he was just okay tonight but he had room to be a lot better. I’m not at all confident in him and neither were the Canes. I’d feel a lot better with Gillies being up here in that role.
