You don't pull him after the 5-4 softy either. It's still a game that they could come back in. And you don't call the timeout there either. You're down 1, you need to bank it for the late surge.
This is not on GG tonight.

After the 4th goal, you recognize that a mentally fragile team has just blown a third period lead for a
SIXTH straight game and that now might be a good time to call a timeout to re-focus. An
OBVIOUS coaching opportunity was missed.
And anyone who thinks that leaving Smith in after the 5th goal was a good idea, well...
