The back up goaltender could suddenly become the #1 if there’s an injury though. I don’t look at it Smith as the “back up,” I look at him as the second option and I don’t like the idea of him being the potential last line of defense in the playoffs.
Good shooters in the playoffs are going to exploit Mike Smith’s weakness and it’s going to be a lot harder to outscore our problems in the lower scoring playoffs and against good teams.
