Maybe his performance last year when he was given the ball is concerning them, I don't know.


But when you have a guy struggling as much as Smith has, then it seems bizarre that they haven't already turned to Rittich more often.


I think it’s just been luck. Smith has sprinkled in enough good (Toronto and Nashville) to keep the coaches thinking he is about to round the corner. Couple that with the Penguins game where I don’t think they put any blame on Smith and here we are.
