Chicago, Detroit, and Vancouver all lost to lesser teams because they have crappy goalies.

That is all.

Chicago and Detroit okay, but Vancouver did not lose because of their goalies.

It's not so much of one team having a crappy goalie as it is one team having an incredible goalie.

I do not no how Smith played before this year, but from what I have heard he was not as good playing for Tampa so I think the desert dogs style of hitting and protecting the puck and waiting for mistakes by the other teams to get takeaways and breakaways also deserves some credit.

I also heard Loungo might wave his no trade clause and they will stick with Schneider. The very fact Vancouver would even consider this shows they are pretty deep at that position.
