I'd be wary of really screwing the team chemistry over a backup goaltender.

By all means, if an upgrade on Smith can be found, which based on play this year should not be that difficult, go out and get it.

But to add a guy like Bobrovski to be a clear backup...I'm skeptical that Bob is going to be happy in that role, and that it could impact the entire group.

One thing I'm curious about would be what do the advanced stats with Rittich suggest? Lately the team has had that horrible tendancy to give up last minute goals to make 2 goal games into 1 goal games. But the eye test that everyone hates....is telling me....Rittich is saving this teams ass right now. They have not played nearly as well in the last 6 weeks as they had been. They've been needing Rittich's goaltending to compensate for what has been less than effective team play when he's in the net. I'd be interested to see if that's really the case, or if the eye test is letting me down and what I observe to be really good goaltending, is only average.
