For the longest time, Mike Smith was the starting goalie of the Arizona Coyotes. He was our starter when we were at our worst and he was our starter at our best. From the 2011-12 season until last March, he was our guy- for better or worse.
And now, for the first time in the regular season, Arizona will visit its old netminder in his new home. But the reunion may not be as sweet as everyone wanted.
The divorce was not as amicable as many would have liked, with Smith stating after being traded he was “excited to have a good defense in front of him”.
