Mike Smith blames the fans for his mistake last night
The Edmonton Oilers and LA Kings were fighting with just over 5 minutes left in the game and was tied at 3, when Mike Smith decided to try to play the puck up the middle of the ice causing a horrible turnover. In his defence he managed to make a save but this got his whole team scrambling and wound up scoring just a few seconds later.

Mike Smith does this at least once a game. At a certain point I don't care how good he thinks he is as a puck handler, the Oilers have to tell him to stay the hell in the creasepic.twitter.com/Knbg0dYVza— Chel Squared (@ChelSquared) May 3, 2022
In his post game conference, Mike Smith said the fans energy got him screwed up:
We got out of our structure a little bit just because it was so energetic you know and the energy you obviously feed off it and maybe it got us out of our structure a little bit.
So all Edmonton Oilers fans for game 2, remember. Don't say a word during the game or it will cause your goalie to blow the game.
