Couple things on Smith.

One he gave up a bad goal. Yes it sucked but the others were not. Goaltenders are going to give up bad goals. I do agree Smith has given up too many of those, which I think is partially from my next point.

Second I think Smith is a goaltender who likes a good number of shots. He played well to start the game but then the flames took over and he didn’t have much to do. I don’t think Smith is good at handling those types of games. He does better when he’s getting peppered. So I think in some weird sort of way Smith is worse when this team is better.
