It was a ridulous play but it's hard to see why Smith is so caught off guard. It was unscreened and a pretty soft pass. He doesn't react late and goes out of his way to boot the rebound out - that's not something you do on a reaction save. It's not like it's unusual for Smith to try and do a little too much back there.
Frolik obviously shoulders the brunt of the blame for his play, but that was a strange, strange rebound for a good goaltender to be kicking out.
