One of the biggest things I think I have a hard time with is understanding what Good Mike Smith is even supposed to look like.
Tonight he said “I felt like I was coming back. Felt like I had strung a nice week together of practice and play and obviously it’s tough to swallow right now.” and there was more positive vibes coming from the SJ game than I thought were earned.
He plays most of the game from his face, is frequently too slow, tracks poorly, lets out big rebounds and overall looks to always be fighting it. He had some great saves in the 2nd, but there were a few that were more than they needed to be as well.
