Didn't see a dive by Smith when he got hit. Looked to me like he wasn't braced against thr boards like a defenceman would be. Then when he felt contact he threw up his arms to protect himself. Markstrom slash was dirty, didnt need to get him that high up, tbf tkachuk doesn't need to crash the net with 15 seconds left. I'd slash him too. Or jump him and start a good old fashioned brawl.
