No it's not. Those are two totally different events.
You can watch the goals that Haynes has labelled "bad goals" in his article. On the vast majority of them, Smith is square to the shooter, following the play, and the puck just goes through him. He is not "behind the play" in any way. He is completely aware of the puck and in position to stop it. He just doesn't stop it, which is exactly why to me it seems completely mental.
