I put no stock in "the team plays more calmly in front of X". People said that about Ramo and about Johnson. But if that was a factor, I'd say the team played better in front of Lack, especially when he first came into the game, than in front of Smith last game.

And knowledgeable hockey people never get that stuff completely wrong, do they? I mean Toskala was clearly the better prospect than Kipper.
I hope Gillies turns out great. But he consistently gets more opportunities from the organization despite Rittich putting up better numbers over a prolonged period. That deserves to be questioned.
