It's probably time to find out if Rittich can sustain those numbers over a higher workload. I get that there's a lot of outrage about Smith but the only thing more worrisome about his play is if Rittich faceplants like he did last season when given the opportunity to start. If that were to happen we would be staring at 2015/16 all over again with no options in net.
