Smith has lost a lot of good will due to many, many very bad goals. For almost a a calendar year. And for costing the team up to an estimated 8-10 points in the standings.
Rittich has earned a lot of good will by stealing many games, and stopping many shots that could have easily been goals .
Enjoy it while it lasts. Most probably, one day soon that old chunk of coal Smith will either retire, or if he is lucky resurface somewhere else.
