This is just speculation, he probably has lot of faith in Smith and could have asked him between periods if he still wanted to go. We don't know so not much point making assumptions. I do agree a goalie change to start the 3rd might have been a bit more settling for the team. Hard to say as the team just didn't play well in a high stakes game, we unraveled to easily.
