In their extremely small NHL sample size last year, Gillies was better. And, as far as AHL play goes, their numbers are pretty similar so you have to look at quality of competition, and what Pascall, Huska and Zulianello have to say.
I put no stock in "the team plays more calmly in front of X". People said that about Ramo and about Johnson. But if that was a factor, I'd say the team played better in front of Lack, especially when he first came into the game, than in front of Smith last game.
