that is the body of work for a 36 year old "starting goal tender" They have to run with Rittich and see what they have. Smith is not likely coming back next season so its extremely frustrating to some that we are bending over backwards to get his game back.

The six games would have seemed like evidence to a lot of people that he could get his game back. You are acting like it was a ludicrous thought process.
Smith playing well would be a good thing. The team should be trying to get him on track, not just giving up on him. And for all you know he is making progress and tonight was a blip. For all you know Rittich is on a downward slide, and his 20 minutes, while decent, are not indicative.
