That team had a slow start fwiw. They were
insanely good from November thru January though... from the blowout loss to the Penguins through to the ASB they looked as good as ever and Peters was a huge part of that with perfect roster management. Rittich took over as 1G too over that period.
Then after the ASB, they kind of coasted off the Mangiapane-Ryan-Hathaway line down the stretch, Peters was too fixed on a handful of icecold line combos, and the Fantenberg acquisition had them playing a boring, inneffective style more often than when the guy he was replacing was in. Smith was weened back into the 1G spot even though the team played better without his overhandling of the puck.
