Arizona Coyotes fans rip Mike Smith for ripping Coyotes

[ad_1]

azcentral sports’ Jay Dieffenbach and Dan Bickley, discuss former Coyotes goalie Mike Smith’s comments about the team and the NFL Top 100 rankings.

Former Arizona Coyotes goalie Mike Smith ripped his former team in an interview with a Calgary radio station earlier this week.

”I’m really looking forward to passing to some of these guys who can actually score,” said Smith, who was recently traded to the Flames.

Coyotes fans didn’t take long to respond with their own criticism of the goaltender.

They flooded social media with their reaction to Smith’s comments.

And most weren’t happy about it.

Bryz showed so much more class when he left.mike should remember his career was almost over when the yotes signed him.

Mike Smith won’t be doing much passing next season sitting on the bench

Smith could have left with some class like Yandle, Hanzal, Bryzgalov ect… Instead he went the Mike Ribeiro, Steve Downie route…

Supposedly Calgary is loaded with top end D-men & high end scorers. What’s going to be his excuse if he starts struggling?

I’m so glad he’s gone. He was a flash in the pan. Prone to bad goals but the occasional miraculous save that he felt compelled to show off.

I have to agree with Smith. Hopefully now he can be on a winning team that has a future.

It’s very low class to bash former teammates.

I agree, Dan. He was very inconsistent the last few years. Kind of a crappy statement to make. Bitter much, Mike???

Bush league smack for a bush league player!

— Rick Delaney (@Phx1rick) June 28, 2017

Dude. I’m his biggest critic, but come on. There’s smack & then there’s truth that hurts. They were a young AND old team that couldn’t score

— Mike (@HyperbolicMike) June 27, 2017

He carried the team for years. Should have traded him 4 years ago

— Mike J (@CoachMike013) June 27, 2017

Dumb to burn bridges! It will come back to bite him. Rain of boos when he gets to play in AZ for sure.
