Smith actually hasn’t been good since last season’s 5 day break in mid January. He was a .924% before the 5 day break and since, he’s been a .888 sv% goaltender with a 3.30 GAA. It’s like he went on vacation to wherever and left his game there.
This season he’s been even worse. Pucks seem to be going through his gigantic gaping holes between his arms, legs and really all over. Not sure if the small pads are the cause of it, but easy shots are rattling through the equipment and then in on a consistent basis, you know something is just not right with his form.
Rittich should get the bulk of the starts now because we simply can’t give up more divisional games on the hope that Smith can get his game back. Smith just hasn’t earned that loyalty as far as I’m concerned.
