Apologies if I missed it but I don't remember seeing a demand to pull Smith at that moment.

Those who say "the results of the game back up my opinion" are saying that in retrospect. That's not hard to do.
interestingly, the person who said it best was Kelly Hrudey, just after the tying goal...

he noticed the way that Smith was looking at the bench, saying that when a veteran goalie is looking at the bench that way, after that kind of goal, its because he is expecting to get pulled.

just a few minutes later, TB scored to get the lead and it was effectively game over
