Well at least I was right about scoring on Hammond.

In the fresh light of day I'm a bit less disgusted with Smith. Yes, the turnover was absolutely atrocious and I have no problem with his getting benched because of it, but the real problem was that he was back there pretending to be a d-man on that play because Claude's using him at the point on the power play. Smith has no business trying to dig out pucks in his own defensive corner with a forward in his face, it's simply not something he has any training to do. He shouldn't be at the point on the PP, and that's on Claude.
I don't think it's reasonable to fault Claude. Smith has been at the point on the PP for almost 2 years, and I don't recall much criticism of that.
