I think the “how will you know if you don’t give him another chance?” argument is incredibly premature. He’s played parts of the last 3/4 games. Nobody has closed the door on him, so let’s stop pretending that Rittich is at a “now or never” Stage of his development, or that the Flames are at that point in their season for that matter.

But how many times are you going to let Smith piss away points waiting to see if he’ll find his game? Points are worth the same in October as they are in April. Play the guy who has looked better. And not just a little better, a lot.
