The Calgary Flames beat the Colorado Avalanche by a 4-0 score on Thursday night in Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinal series. Here are selected reactions from players and coaches following the game.
Mike Smith has a good game
There have been two Mike Smiths for the Flames this season. One has been very good, while the other occasionally gets jeered for making routine saves. Well, Smith was good enough tonight that a capacity crowd chanted “Smitty” at various times in the game.
How did Smith feel about the crowd’s response to his play?
