Turned out to be a pretty good tilt all things considered. That was something 1st period me would've been pleasantly surprised (but not too surprised...)
Probably Smith's best game in a while, and more confident then we saw in the most recent good period. More of that please! Good to see that Rittich can take a break, and a piece to build confidence in having a 1A-1B again
Speaking of which... will this be a Gillies start tomorrow? With the time off, Smith could take over if the AHL stats are something to be concerned with... or a boost of confidence that some help for Rittich could be in the system if this Smith loses his way
