I get that Mike Smith is an athletic goalie and not so much a technical goalie, but all I see are red flags when Ovechkin has a one timer from the right side and Smith is flying through the air looking like he's throwing a drop kick and as the puck sits behind the net, he starts flailing around in a mad scramble to get back into the net. I see 10 year olds with better fundamentals.
