This game feels like being punched in the gut, or being dumped by a long term girlfriend. Why GG wouldn't pull Smith after the third goal is beyond me. It sends a message to the players that this unacceptable save % is okay and it kills the morale of the players when you have to play catchup all game, and no lead is safe. We need to be better defensively, sure, but having such a terrible save % and awful 5 on 3 chance is unacceptable. I feel depressed that such a promising season is quickly falling by the wayside.
