I really believe the Flames "want" Smith to be their starter for the playoffs. They like his experience.
Now I agree that are also managing Rittich as best they can as they want him confident and sharp for the playoffs too.
I wouldn't call it a controversy, but if you ask yourself who would start game 1 if the playoffs started tomorrow, I believe today's answer is Smith.
