We dont have the luxury of looking at the Coyotes and thinking: 'ah, that should be an easy game so play Smith.'

Hes cost us too many points already.

True, but Smith is gonna have to play eventually. We don't want to ride Rittich into the ground and wear him out. If Dave is gonna get us to the promised land, he'll need to rest once in a while.

But you're right, anytime Smith starts, it feels like an automatic loss.
