Even early in the game, Smith tried making long passes to covered guys, standing behind the net with the puck and dishing to his D for breakouts that fail. Putting it to the half boards to Bennett who just has a Blues guy skate through him. It simply doesn’t help.
I saw one pass he made tonight that Johnny picked up and they entered the zone, that was pretty much the only thing that wasn’t unsuccessful.
And the PK flub was a back breaker
