There is no reason to keep playing Smith when he can't even be relied upon to make the easy saves. He may not set the world on fire given the chance, but I guarantee you Gillies doesn't let the kind of beer league garbage goals in that Smith has been doing each and every game.

Agreed.
Before acquiring another goalie, I think we have to give Gillies a shot.
Remember, Rittich fell apart last season and was awful in pre-season. Sometimes it’s just about timing and opportunity. Philly tomorrow would be a good chance to give Gillies a go.
