Not my opinion. If Smith or any goalie was in last night, same analysis.
Kane’s goal was a crappy goal, and he would want it back. I was just volunteering that those shots are tougher to read and react to than many people may appreciate. And that they are rare enough that they don’t project anything in his general ability to stop normal shots.
That was the whole point about the SJ game - there were two bad goals in quite uncommon situations, not two weak goals in normal situations.
I wouldn’t claim those to be good goals or unstoppable. That would be daft. They were bad goals, but they were not normal. And you can’t project behaviour in normal situations based on behaviour in outlying situations.
And the TB game is also an outlying situation.
