Again, Rittich is 20-4-4.
Andrei Vasilevskiy is 21-7-4
Carey Price is 23-13-4
He had a bad period. If any one has earned it, it's him. Dude deserves some good faith from you and other fans given the overall body of work, because it's been better than we probably could have even hoped going into the season and I think you're under appreciating what he's been. Give him this one, and move on. He took accountability for it in his statement, which is more than you can say for Smith on many of his poor nights.
Smith isn't being excused by any one because he hasn't earned it, and hopefully is gone in the coming weeks.
