Am I the only one tired of watching Smith cut back in the O zone to try to evade a defender, then fall and lose the puck to said defender and create an odd man rush against?

Does 👏 not 👏 work 👏 at this level. You have to imagine the coaching staff has told him this, ya?

It works, he's just not strong enough to take the bump. When he is stronger it will work. Don't coach that habit out.

Who would be some examples that can pull this off regularly? Not saying they don’t exist, I just can’t think of anyone save maybe EK65 (though I don't watch a ton of hockey outside the Sharks).

Smith looks like a roller hockey kid struggling to make the adjustment to ice to me.
