Overall Mike Smith is a very good goalie and I like him a lot. But when it comes to puck controlling, he has some problems. Maybe he should give Marty Brodeur a call for some advice.
I find the repeated criticism of Mike’s style entertaining. Here’s a guy with a somewhat unorthodox,no holes barred style of play that has made himself a top 50 all time goalie in; games played, wins, save%,GAA and S/O’s. He is the best puck handler in the game and has helped his team mates countless times with transition out of their zone let alone likely spared some of his d-men serious injuries. I rest my case. Can we move on from the criticism and focus on the 99% of what makes him great?

Is this the rare simultaneous dang-it/hat-pick?

Everyone talks about how good a puck handler Smith is but it seems like he botches it up literally a solid 25% of the time.
I think this is the most mike smith play I’ve ever seen. Give up the puck on an easy play and then have to make a ridiculous save to make up for it.
Lol oilers should get a better goalie
A bit of a floppy floater but, way to gather yourself
Smith see you Friday
Task failed successfully
ehlers was pissed he had a goal if connor slid that over

Is it bad i genuinely hate mike Smith because of how often he misplays the puck?
