Never mind the fact that he's bottom 5 of all goalies. Never mind the fact that he crapped the bed to try to be a third d-man on Iginla's jersey retirement night.
He's welcome to redeem himself in April and amaze us all, but you can probably count on one hand the number of people outside of Wills that are banking on that happening.

At this point right now, I'd probably start Smith if game 1 was next.
Thankfully, we have another 13 games to have the two guys figure out which is best for the actual game 1.
