Rough game for the second and third pairs, luckily Smith thrives in games like this where he's seeing lots of action.
What the hell is wrong with Tkachuk?? Bad play after bad play, lazy and lousy passes all throughout this game and the past several games.
This team will be doomed as soon as he becomes the team's highest paid player.

This is absurd. Smith had the biggest impact on this victory out of any Flames player. He made a half-dozen saves on breakaways or point-blank chances like the Anisimov one. That's way more than a goalie should have to deal with.He made some good saves but he was not that busy
Smith moved from horrible to barely acceptable now.

I'm fine with your second sentence, because he broke trust with a lot of fans and can't earn it back in one game, but that first statement is asinine.

Well, I did say he made some good saves?
And he was not as busy as Crawford, not even close. So the statement is nowhere close to asinine than your strong objection to it.

Are you suggesting that how busy a goalie is is a direct measure of how difficult the game was for him? Smith made more difficult saves this game than Crawford.
Scoring chances were 20 Flames 20 Blackhawks. High danger chances were 7 Flames 8 Blackhawks.
Both goalies were equally busy. Flames just got a lot more outside shots on Crawford because we had the edge in zone time, but the Blackhawks had the edge in odd-man rushes and breakaways. Every period we had a Blackhawk sneak behind our D multiple times.
Smith was fantastic tonight.

Well that's a **** take if I have ever seen one.
Leave this forum and never come back.
Tkachuk is a God damn beautiful Angel and will be paid as such
It was Smith's 3rd win in a row (Ari, LA, Chi) and he's won 2 game in a row on 2 previous occasions this season as well (Van, Nsh) and (Tor, Col)Special teams win games. Only 1 ES goal for both teams.
It was a good goaltending battle too but Smith shouldn't have had to bail us out like this. Think that's the first time this season that he's won two in a row.
2nd line needs to pick it up as well next game
Delusional much? I love Chucky and he'll be a vital piece of our team going forward but he is just not the best player on this team.
That lousy cute pass he tried to make at the end would've killed this team if Hamonic didn't bail him out. He's been trying to force too many pretty passes recently. He's at his best when he uses his body to fend off defenders to buy time and space for his linemates.
Having Hathaway and Lomberg on the ice at the same time is like shooting ourselves in the foot.
Damn, some of ya'all act like Smith is graded based on the Asian grading scale.

Not long ago many posters wanted to split the top line. But I would agree on the production of our second unit. I would try Ryan on the right for 2-3 games instead of Bennett.our 2nd line has turned into crap lately. I feel like Janko deserves a look at some point. Because our current trio is playing like hot garbage. Not impressed by anyone except our top line and top d pairing, Hamonic, and Smith.
