He is cheating more and more out there and its giving the opposition easy goals. The third goal isn't a bad goal but Smith goes down way too early on a bad angle play so the pass across is just shot into an open net. A competent NHL goalie is able to slide across on that play and force the shooter to actually make a good shot.

But BT said he did not have many hard miles on him. Smith should not be that old. Maybe BT just bought a lemon, it happens now and then (Hiller, Elliott, and now Smith)
