Not a GG hater but I have to agree here, highly doubt Rittich was going to get the start. The only reason he may have changed his mind is because truthfully Smith hasn't exactly been GODMODE lately. Two goals given up to the Isles were stinkers and there have been a few of those creaking in on him lately. Still though, he's still playing good overall and I just don't see him sitting Smith against the Bruins or the Preds. Maybe against the Panthers on Sunday.
