Smiths speed and hands make it worth working with him a little. The leash will only be so long though.

Also we need to remember Bednar does have times he's willing to let a guy take a penalty, and he judges for himself if it was worth it or not. He's gotten through to guys before. Was it NAK that was a penalty machine prior? There have been one or two.
Oh, I know if it were ever to happen it would be a one and done for all of them. But it could be glorious. Just think about that five man unit all playing like it's Adam Foote's last shift.

Such a shame too. I know Bednar hates guys that play like he used to. But it would be great after watching 5 minutes of lines 1-3 running around playing the Avs typicaly fast but extremely polite hockey, to see Smith-Stienburg-Sherwood with Middleton and Manson jumping over the boards for a completely chaotic and hilarious 40 seconds and then back to lines 1-3.

Our bottom six could be literally painful to play against. I think it worked to wear down Nashville quite well and opened up the game for us.
