It's moments like that when Smith's hockey IQ, hands, and vision are on display. You can literally see the gears working where he predicts where the defenseman is going to try to put the puck and snatches it.
yea it's nice to see this side of smith start to show up. i was surprised to see how successful he could be on the forecheck last year off of plays like this. if he can improve his skating strength, he could end up being a dangerous puck thief.

Would have preferred we won the Thursday game instead but I’ll take blitz of the Predators and points to go around lol.

And Macklin deserves a secondary assist as per vortexy. He created that entire situation.

I really and truly think that we're just going to have to wait until he's 22 before Will Smith truly arrives, simply because of how physically immature he is. But the brain is all there, and it's very high-end. We just need to not give up on him at 21 like the Coyotes gave up on Dylan Strome.
