Smith: good enough to win with but not to be a game changer. Saves what he should but not more.
Today's Smith will let us compete but he needs to be better for us to really succeed.
Speed: We looked like the slowest team in the league. Defence getting beat many times and Vancouver has almost all odd man rushes.
Slapshots: Gio took a slaapshot off the glass late in the game and I think it was the only one. With 7 PPs and no slap shots from the point, that struck me as a tactical decision. Strange systematic decision.
PP: Horrible as mentioned. No big shots from the point contributed to a predictable operation in my opinion. Same old drop to Johnny for gaining the zone is also too predictable.
