I hope the 1st goal tonight was the end of "that" Mike Smith.
The fact that Smith was awesome all night after letting in a softy just goes to show how bloody important that position is. Smith and Jones were both awesome tonight. Smith unfortunately let in that 1st weak one, and that was it. Jones didn't blink all night, and that one freaking mistake was the difference.
Backlund's defensive lapse on the 2nd goal was just as inexcusable though, so there's no true "blame" tonight.
Good game by Smith.
