Unless Rittich was having a leg amputated why the hell didnt GG change something up?
I dont get it. Sometimes letting the starter hang in there and get slaughtered is worse than just yanking him on a bad day.
Its exactly what people criticize Gully for. He doesnt change. He doesnt adapt.
Hes like a driver whose car is suddenly going sideways in adverse weather and he just thinks to himself: "This is okay. It will right itself eventually."

That’s my point. GG is squandering one of Smith’s best years. Smith sees the clock ticking on his career has a great season and somehow we get these results.
This team should be Much better. We have a few of the NHLs best players. They need a coach to match the talent of the roster. GG is the coaching equivalent of Troy Brouwer.
