Not sure what David Rittich has done to Wills and Loubo, but it's very obvious on air that they have a very strong bias towards Mike Smith. Not sure if it's just older vets looking out for another older vet. But it's lead to some personal angst against Ryan Pinder because he's not a Smith guy at all and as soon as Mike Smith had a bad game, the 2 were all of a sudden very "tired" of the goaltending talk, but were completely fine talking with the goaltending conversation when Smith was on his win streak.
Just reeks of desperation. Eric Francis can be thrown into this grouping as well. Pat seems to be the most level headed of the bunch, he's interested in talking about each goaltender's struggles and is willing to criticize and give credit where credit is due whereas Ryan Pinder, Derek Wills and Peter Loubardias have clear favorites.
