I'm now sure how Smith can be played for the Drouin goal... Gaudreau should've had the puck along the boards, and it was scrambly from there. He made the save he needs to make, but got caught on the rebound.

The last goal was absolutely brutal, of course.

The first goal is one Smith has been letting in this season, but I've seen other goalies failing to squeeze the arm too, I wonder if it's an equipment change issue.

Regardless, Smith has looked a bit spastic for a long stretch, going back into last year... it's on the coaches that he keeps getting the starts over Rittich.
