Kylington > Prout

However need to give the 7D some ice time in case of injury, so I understand the decision last game.

Chucky is a worry.

Fingers crossed he doesn’t face 35+ shots line last night.

Although he’s so unpredictable he might get a shut out (hands praying emoji thingy).

Didn’t some present stats that Smith plays better when does face a lot of shots?

He will be in tomorrow night. Otherwise that second line would feature Bennett and not Mangiapane.

There is six games in twelve days before the break. I expect everyone to play even if they are nursing some ailments.

Frolik with Backlund just feels right.

Ugh, not happy about the possibility of Smith starting. Especially with Vegas and the Sharks constantly on our heels. I realize he's gonna have to play a few games here and there, so I guess putting him in against a weaker opponent makes sense. But I still don't like it.

Well, Smith's stats are pretty much even with Luongo/Reimer/Hutchinson, so there's that.

Smith shouldnt be playing at home right now. If he costs the team a game like he did in Boston the boo birds will be out loud and proud.

There was no mention of Smith starting tomorrow was there? Was there even a "starter's" net today?

If we're going by Wills listing Smith first I wouldn't read much into that. He still has Hathaway on the wrong side.

Maybe, and it is probably a huge ask, but maybe try to support him and not get on him. before he plays a second he is behind the 8 ball.

Rittich can't play all the games. Might as well start Smith against teams lower in the standings.

There are 37 games left, Rittich has appeared in 26.

I'm thinking his target is 50ish for the season which means 9 or 10 starts from Smith et al.

Something between every third or fourth game. People should get used to this.
