It's not the hit physical hit. He was fine. Him holding his head was to protect from the like but got the concussion protocol.
But look what that did (and the Oilers time wasting to actually get him back in net), having to go off and come on...he gets scored on the first shot and looks terrible in doing so.
Mission accomplished by Lucic, again, Smith will be asked about the hit and orotolc and bouncing back, and just him having to answer that stuff will distract him just like the protocol did.
