That was likely the worst goal he let in all season. The other 3 tonight, some of the best ever couldn't stop those.

			Should be 3-3. I have no idea where Mike Smith’s game has gone, but it’s at an embarrassing level right now. Unless the team plays picture perfect D, he struggles to look good. Shakey saves, poor positioning, pucks going in from areas of the ice that should never go in. That’s 2 games in a row from the same spot and you can tell teams are game planning around that. 
 
That 4th one was completely utterly unacceptable. I can’t figure out which one is worse, the Montreal one or this one.

Statistically a top 10 offensive force in the league.   
I'm not sure who is a bigger waste of space, but gets a ridiculously long leash, Ryan or Smith.

			Smith was to blame on goal #4, but it's unlikely any goalie is stopping the first three against him.   Team has been ass tonight, he's been no worse than most of the guys in front.

It’s amazig how quickly this team goes back to him, Rittich has a so-so game vs Dallas and boom Smith is now the starter again.

			I feel like we are watching a marital spat between spouses with Smith and the rest of the team. Yeah! You wanna leave me hanging with poo defense for 3 goals? Fine! I'll just uhhh forget where I am on this goal. Your move!

There have been so many goals that hit Smith, went through him somehow, and slowly slid across the line without him even reacting.

Sure. But thankfully it's a one goal game and next period is the third. 
 
Lets put it behind and hopefully the team will too.

Much worse than that - he literally backed into the net to get out of the way of the puck.  Then watched it roll into the corner.
