Derek Wills is one of the few guys from the fan 960 that I’m not a huge fan of. I don’t mind his play-by-play but I almost always disagree with his analysis. His endless defence of Smith gets tiresome.
That being said I feel like we are listening to different clips here. To me Pinder was the one who came across as a total jerk in that clip. Wills barely got a sentence out before Pinder interrupted him and started talking over him. I thought Wills was justified in sounding defensive. He didn’t say anything about Smith that sounded unreasonable and I think the goaltending battle for playoffs is wide open. However I agree with Pinder, playoffs start today and I think it’s still Rittich’s net. Smith hasn’t done quite enough to be back in the #1 slot going forward. Yet.
And then I thought Pinder was quite rude at the end. He was so dismissive.
