Firstly, he didn’t play. My comment was a time and place comment, not an “I like Smith” comment. (Actually, since you seem to imply that I think he is above criticism it something, I don’t. Don’t like him, even when he is playing well. I don’t like the way he calls out teammates, his lack of composure, overplaying the puck, rebound control, etc. )
Presumptuous? Your sentence seems to pretend I didn’t say all things being equal (Rittich even admitted the guys made it easy for him), and assuming he stopped the shots he should.
I think a lot of NHL goalies get a shutout in a game like that.
