Not sure where Smith was supposed to be positioned — maybe he could have challenged a bit more but he was also playing a two-on-one with both players on their off-wings. It was also a very well placed shot — it’s not like Smith is a small goalie. I don’t care who the player is — if you shoot from that spot and hit the corner, there isn’t a goalie in the NHL that’s going to stop that on their stick side.
PS Rinaldo had five goals last year, ie more than Stajan and more than Hathaway (in fewer games as well). You can hate the player but that doesn’t mean he can’t pick a corner — it’s the NHL.
