Yeah goalies are just so unpredictable. But Rittich is earning every start he gets. I won't be surprised if we go back to Smith on Saturday. I'd prefer Rittich. People just like to declare things, like this guy is our starter, or this guy will never play good again. But I just think it's in our teams best interest to give Smith every chance to get rolling. He may not, but no one can know that at this point.
And just because you declare something and it turns out to be true, doesn't mean you knew it. It means you guessed right!
I'm guessing, Rittich continues his strong play with some ups and downs. Smith continues his sporadic play but is decent enough that the Flames roll the dice on keeping this tandem and we upgrade in the offseason. I'm guessing they more or less end up splitting the starts.
EDIT: Posted this before the Bob rumour! I HATE the idea of trading our first. But that is pretty tempting.
