Agree about injuries. Nobody should wish those,

But the implication is the starting goalie decision

Agree or disagree, perhaps because it takes the (arguably) wrong (arguably GM / loyalty/ whatever based) decision out of the coach’s hands (and forces him to accept the statistically getter goalie as starter, independent of ego / contract / whatever else situations)

I think Smith is better than his recent stats imply, but surely you can’t fault the end result if thinking Rittich may be the better goalie, just the means.
