I'm really shaken in my belief of Smith since the Colorado game. I've posted prior to that game I'm fine giving Smith until Game #25 to sort it out but I also had not watched the Flames for 5 weeks before that game too. That guy looks broken and it's damned scary to me to think we are going to run a whole season with a giant red flag from Smith. And Rittich as solid as he appears, is still a risk if you're going to give him a run of games. It's all sketchy as heck and not confidence inspiring.

Sink or swim time soon for Rittich I guess. But does anyone really think this management team is looking at what we have anywhere else and NOT out there working to figure out if they can get a Bob or something like that?

I bet you they're skittish about goaltending as well.
