Maybe if the Flames' world class defence wouldn't allow so many HDCA then he would have better stats.
Who on earth called them world class?

Mrazek hasn't been good in Carolina (he sucked before Carolina for the last two years in both Philly and Detroit too)
Flames fans have been telling us for years they have one of the best defensive cores in the leagueWho on earth called them world class?
Not anymore. Not when BT traded Dougie for Hanifin. I'll tell you this - half of us believe our D core effin' sucks.Flames fans have been telling us for years they have one of the best defensive cores in the league
High danger chance = shot from a location from which there is a 9+% chance of a goal being scored, according to a definition I remember by heartGive me a break! One or two extra high danger chances a game doesn't make an all star goalie turn into glass, he's cooked.
He was great last season

Allow two more of those per game over a large period of time, and you'll stand at giving up 0.18 more goals a game.
Now, 0.18 × 82 = ~14.7 goals per a 82-game season. Still insignificant?

And also, are you aware that judging a goalie based on a sample size of what, under 10 games, is downright absurd? Go by career SV% before resorting to 10 games any day of the week.So a goalie would go from a 916SV% to an 869SV% as a result? No, I don't think so. This reasoning would make sense if Smith's numbers where marginally down, he looks like a tire-fire in net this year.

One bad game can ruin any goalie's numbers at this point of the year with ease. Think the Flames just went through a rough one.
And Oilers fans declared themselves cup champs before last season started.. some people say dumb things.
On topic, Smith was never the solution.
Make that sample size 100 starts, and then we can talk.He's been bad for closer to 20 games. His last 10 starts had him at an 880SV% (post injury), and he's been awful this year two. When you double the sample size, it looks a lot worse for him.
No Oilers fans said that at all.
The solution is to stop thinking that Calgary has even a league average defense group. Doesn’t help that their young forward are not good two way players either.
It sure why you’re being so sensitive. Maybe because Calgary’s defense has been getting exposed as being grossly overrated for years now and they don’t have much else to be proud of on a port club.Seems like you blanked that off season out as most on hf would disagree. Not every team can win the lottery over and over and still be mediocre, so to talk about Calgary being average is kind of asinine when Edmonton is right there with us.
