The fourth goal isn't on him. But by that point, you've really sucked some of the life out of the team. It's just not good enough.
Definitely not good enough and can't help but think that it's a different game with Smith in net. But that's the reality when your number one goes down. You're gonna get sub par goaltending and it's going to cost you.
