It was a lazy comment to make which I based entirely on the final ten minutes of the third period of the last game. I apologize to Mike Smith and his loyal legion of fans for letting ten minutes (and the entire regular season) cloud my judgement.

It would be great if you could get a day job so that I could tell you not to quit your day job.

this is great. Btw tanner is super smart didn't he tell you?

Unfortunately for them, their magic ran out and they lost the season when...
Chayka loaded up on Chris Prongers and Marian Hossas to get to the cap floor and failed to develop and then traded away excellent blue chip prospects and their goaltending was average and their scoring was below average...
and they just could not buy a goal

FTFY

Oh tanner your at it again. You know nothing about the islanders at all. So why bother even saying anything.

This comment is weaker than Tanner's hot takes for today, i.e., Kerfoot for Selke and the Flames paying the price for their goalie situation.

Be better.

Yeah, these were 'stoppable' - I suppose any shot is stoppable so you have everyone there:

Both easily stoppable.

James Tanner scrambling to justify his hot takes.

I'm not really sure how you put the blame on the goalie when they score a PP goal with an uncovered dude right in front of the net deflecting the puck top corner. And the overtime winner was a goal scorers goal. Unless you're suggesting half of Ovechkin's goals were because the goalies were bad.

I'll even give you the first one. He made a nice save on the first shot and his team shouldn't have ignored the rebound, but he did put himself out of position.

Smith has been playing outstanding but he is over dramatic on routine saves, he makes a routine save look harder than it should be

Too bad fair criticism doesn't generate as many clicks as inflammatory bullpoop.

This is where I stopped reading:
"The Flames are paying the price for not addressing their goalie situation".

Put Robyn Lehner in front of literally any team in this league and they'd be in the exact same position. The guy is having an all-time season, but let's not kid ourselves that their team is actually good.
