It's hard to do that when the backup is fresh up from the AHL. It also undermines Lack to pull him that quickly in a game. If you want a guy to have some confidence in himself, you gotta say to him, "Nah man, you got back out there. You got this." Anything less and you're saying to him, "forget it, you suck. I can't trust you."
Tough situation to judge in hindsight. If Lack pulls it together and makes some big saves, then everything will likely work out much better going forward, especially with Smith out.
