MIKE SMITH RUMORS & GOSSIP
Mike Smith Wants To Play For A Contending Team
from Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic,
Smith is the team’s top unrestricted free agent, and he’ll be the most coveted goalie July 5 when the free-agent market opens for business. After only two seasons as a No. 1, Smith has made it clear he considers himself among the elite of the position and expects a salary to match.
And if the Coyotes let him reach free agency...
Is Mike Smith Worth $6M A Year?
from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,
- Goalie Mike Smith, a UFA on July 5, is seeking $6 million per-season and has refused to sign a contract with the Coyotes. The decision by Detroit's Jimmy Howard to stay in Motown for a long-term deal means Smith will be one of the most valuable commodoties on the market. He'd be an option for the Flyers if they decide to buyout...

Alex Edler Bulldozes Goalie Mike Smith, Fight Breaks Out
Give it up for Alex Edler, guys. He was finally able to do what every hockey player in the Western Conference dreams about at night….running over Mike Smith. It’s pretty hard to dislike an NHL goaltender—most of them keep quiet behind their masks, don’t provoke other players, and generally earn the respect of the league for just allowing guys to shoot hard pieces of rubber...
Phoenix Coyotes Goalie Mike Smith Is Bringing Back The Mullet
Step aside, Barry Melrose. Mike Smith’s new mullet may be the most ridiculous hairstyle to hit the NHL. My first thought when I saw this photo was, “When did Mike Smith have the time to get drunk enough to let someone do this to his head?” However, upon further investigation, it appears that this was a sober decision and that Smith is actually quite fond of his new ‘do. It’s...

GOALIE SMASH!
Mike Smith destroys stick after allowing goal
It hasn’t been the best start to the 2013 NHL season for Phoenix Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith. He let up four goals during Phoenix’s 4-3 loss to the Dallas Stars on Saturday, and then got shelled for six yesterday as the Coyotes fell to the Chicago Blackhawks by a score of 6-4. Smith finally took his frustrations out after allowing that sixth goal, and the victim was his poor...
'Unreal' Smith carries Coyotes to new heights
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- With four seconds on the clock Monday night and the Predators making one last attempt to stay alive in the Western Conference semifinals, Coyotes goaltender Mike Smith sent a clearing attempt 165 feet down the ice toward an empty Nashville net.
Wide right, by about a foot.
"I just said, 'Why'd you miss the net?'" Coyotes coach Dave Tippett...

Smith's puck play no issue; Coyotes prefer it
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Every time Coyotes goalie Mike Smith wanders out of his crease to play the puck, another critic is born.
It happened during the regular season on a few occasions.
It happened in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against Nashville when a puck took a funny bounce off a partition at Jobing.com Arena and ended up on the stick of Brandon Yip for an easy...

Smith withstands barrage, bails out Coyotes
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Coyotes probably should have skated off the ice Friday night down a game to open the Western Conference semifinals. They probably shouldn't have even had the chance to win in overtime.
But they did, and it was all thanks to -- who else? -- goaltender Mike Smith.
As usual, Smith did all the heavy lifting in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals,...
