gillies has done nothing since he came out of college to make me think that he would be an improvement over smith, unfortunately. i am hoping that smith out with a non-serious injury finally forces the coaching staff to give the net to rittich, like what happened to kipper after turek went down, and rittich rises to the occasion and never looks back.
in the meantime, smith gets time to work on his game and takes the rest days he obviously needs so he can perform like he had been the past 5-6 games whenever they need him as a backup
