You don't want him to burn out for the playoffs in a desperate attempt to get a slightly higher seed.
And saying that its more important to "keep losing games with Smith" complete ignores the fact that they are winning more games with him than they are losing.

Kipper went from 38 to 74 in one year.
Smith last 7 is 3-3-0 with a no decision and let in 4+ in 4 out of 7. We are getting a lot of mileage out of the 6 game win streak, but when the team requires the goaltender to contribute, he seems to come up short.
