Frustrating game by Smith, he really blew it on Iginla night. But the lynch mob calling for Smith's head is so frustrating too. We need both Rittich and Smith to do well for us if we are to have a chance in the playoffs. It feels like there's posters out there who want Smith to fail so they can say "See?? Smith sucks!!! He should never play again!!! Put in Rittich!!!"
So let me ask: come playoff time, do you ride and die with Rittich? Hypothetical: If Rittich goes 1-3 in his first 4 games in the playoffs, do you put him back for game 5?
I personally wouldn't do either, so I'm REALLY cheering for Smith to get his act together so we have 2 decent goalies, as frustrating as it sometimes is.
