There's no definitive #1 goalie right now. Run with the hot hand. If Smith can find a way to be an adequate goalie (no weak goal per game), then Flames are in a better position by having two goalies they can roll with throughout the season.
It's much better than having to overwork one goalie because you can't trust the other even in a backup role.

I disagree. Rittich has had far the better numbers and been way more consistent while Smith is still letting in a bad goal per game when he does get the start. To me it's clear who has a future with the Flames and who is our clear cut starter just look at the number. What's the definition of insanity again? oh ya Playing Mike Smith and expecting a different result.
