Just take a look at the Game 5 highlights in Edmonton to see why the Oilers offensive powerhouse still can't ever win. Omigod, was Smith horrendous! Just hideous beyond all belief for an NHL goalie.

You beat me to this one. As I noted in my playoff thoughts, Mike Smith is literally terrible. Beyond the highlights there were other times when he randomly dove out of the net in some random direction.

There was speculation about Reimer to Oilers. Would have made a ton of sense for both sides IMO

He's terrible and also older than Yoda. Five hole open all night, and how about goal 3. I am not even sure what that was, an attempted poke check? He dove out but Athanasiou wasn't even close to him.

Why Oilers didn't address goaltending at deadline is a head-scratcher
