"Exact opposite position?" Nah, I'm not in favour of Smith. I don't think he's a good goaltender in many situations. I still don't think he's a good solution. My position changed from "get rid of him" to "there's nothing we can reasonably do to upgrade this season so we're stuck with him and we have to hope for the best." And then he improved somewhat.
Besides, all I said there is "I hope Smith can continue to be good." I didn't say I expected it, because he hasn't given fans much reason to expect much from him. But he has been better lately, and I've been pleasantly surprised.
Also, I was largely in favour of Gulutzan until he was fired. Don't recall changing my position there. I can look back now and say I was wrong, easily.
