I do have issues with complaining about every goal, when usually they are the same as go in against Rittich or other goalies without complaint. Example - the complete fluke deflection going to a player sitting at the back door last time he played. I'm not saying he gets the benefit of the doubt. He doesn't. But a good goal is a good goal.
I guess the point is, if it's a goal where people say "no chance for Rittich" how can we complain of Smith lets it in?

I agree with this but it's also not so cut and dry. Almost every goal that gets scored can be debated about whether the goalie could have saved it. And ultimately a big difference between good goalies and bad ones is how many difficult saves they make.
SO yeah Smith lets in some stinkers which is obviously a problem. But I don't think all goalies are created equal on all other shots either.
