Edmonton Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft met with the media ahead of Game 2 of the Western Conference Final against the Colorado Avalanche today and, among other things, he offered up some interesting praise for veteran goaltender Mike Smith.
Smith, of course, was absolutely ventilated for six goals in the Oiler's Game 1 loss but Woodcroft maintains that he'll be the team's starter this evening. When asked about Smith's resiliency, Woodcroft offered up a perfect soundbite:
lol... love it.
