A weak goal against will kill the crowd who is no doubt nervous about goaltending

Giving up the 1st goal of the series isn't the end of the world but if it's a soft goal I could see a lot of negative energy in the dome. One has to wonder how much rope Smith gets. If they lose game one and Smith lets in one or two softies does Peters give him one more game or go right to Rittich?
