All things considered, I don't see why it's such a crazy thought. Smith has played back to backs before. The team just had a nice long vacation, they play 4 games and then get another long break. We've also been soundly beaten and dominated at times by the Oilers as of late, so playing our #1 goaltender could've been in the cards.
