I don't know about that. It seems to me that the guys have stolen games back for Smith far more often then he has stolen a game for them. I would say that Rittich has stolen more games for the boys then Smith has. This is based strictly on my eye test so far this year, would love to know if anything supports or disproves that. We have to be past the "small sample size" portion of the year by now. Maybe a Talley of wins, being down after 2 periods? Definitely people on here that are more skilled with stats then I am that could suggest an appropriate comparison.
Also, not saying the boys start better in front of one versus the other, I just think that they have to turn it on at some point in front of Smith in order to secure the win. Maybe having to fire the afterburners in the first game back has them back to form by next game?
