People can say what they will about the forward and defence. But we will never know what we have without the momentum gain of a decent goalie. Hate to pile on but Smith is terrible. He's being beat up high (resting on his knees) and down-low between is massive 5-hole (transition). He's just too slow is that going to change?
But how is a team supposed to play with any kind of confidence with this happening? And I think Peters and management know that after the 9-1 drubbing frankly but can't be too vocal...
Treliving is quietly trying to pull a deal before its too late. Which is hard without sending Rittich the other way... we're really screwed.
