Who's held their team back more this season? Mike Smith or Jake Allen?
Mike Smith has cost the Flames 12 points this season from blowing games due to letting in (usually multiple) weak goals that sink the team. Flames could be within a point or two of Tampa if Mike Smith was anything more than awful.
He isn't capable of having an extended long run anymore, his style is too reflex based and unorthodox and he is just too old and his body is too broken down to utilize this style. That's why so many goals just simply go through him, because he can't clamp down on the puck quick enough. He usually doesn't get beat clean, they usually hit him and just go straight through.
