It's tough to bounce back when you let in 3 goals quickly, two of which were butter soft by Rittich. I don't blame Smith for the deflection.
If just one of those glorious chances on the PP go in, the complexion of the game is totally different.
You learn from this and move on.
The goal pull was neither here nor there. Sometimes a guy needs a chance to figure it out midgame, other times he needs to watch from the bench. Watching from the bench is not the turning point in the season some of the idiotic talking heads think it is (cough Francis cough).
