At that point the game was still salvageable.
Instead he does nothing, as per usual, Smith gives up another right off the bat, and the game is all but lost. It’s just amazing how oblivious the man seems to be.

Remember that time in the playoffs when our goalie was routinely playing like hot garbage? And Gully trotted him out anyways? And then when it was 'Do or Die' time he (predictably) played like crap and let in a muffin from behind the goal line and then Ol' Gul gave him the Vaudevillian hook?
Seem familiar at all?
I seem to say that a lot about Ol' Gul, he seems to make a lot of the same mistakes repeatedly. Its like his routine.
Ol' Gul is completely clueless until the clues hit him in the face. Over and over again. And then again.
I think thats it. Hes like Wile E. Coyote. The guy who tries hitting the brakes after hes already gone over the edge of the cliff.
