I know he likes to steal the spotlight but less theatrics and more technique from Smith would go a long way to helping the team win.

Maybe. Smith built his entire career playing the way he’s played. He’s a high risk goaltender, has been for years before he ever came our way.
I don’t think goalies can just switch styles, but I do think goalies who play high risk fall off faster as they get slower.
