Agreed. Smith was awful tonight, and he knows it. The 4-3 goal was the back-breaker and then it just snowballed from there. Tough for the team to get any traction or momentum when every San Jose shot ends up in the back of your net, even from terrible angles.
That being said, the team is where they are because of their home record and their pathetic PP.
