Don't start Smith against the Islanders. We don't want a repeat of last year.

Don't love Smith getting back in right away after I thought Rittich had a good game yesterday. Would have much rather given Rittich another one to let them both get rolling.

Probably

Will be interesting to see if Trotz has more carry in attempts or shallow chip and chase

Lightning never strikes the same location twice...

Season saved. You don't win Cups without your #1 dman who is having a Hart-worthy season and is our MVP.

They play in NJ again on Wednesday night. Rittich will get two of three starts in four days. That's a good call, I think.

aaaaand I forgot they were on a back to back this week.

So Smith starting tomorrow's not a big deal.

Crisis averted :P

Perhaps Gio is just putting on the foil in anticipation of meeting Cal Clutterbuck in the hallway...

Not so sure about that. Right now both are playing quite well, so it's the epitome of a 1a/1b scenario. I'm thinking Peters is more focused on managing starts to keep both playing well rather than worrying about who is what.
