Again, you are completely ignoring the fact Rittch has not been good recently.I do think Smith will get more starts, I just don't think it will be in the tougher games where one or two bad goals will likely cost us the game. I may be wrong, but I hope not because I don't trust him. Peters will make the decision and if Rittich is playing well I don't see any reason to go with Smith in those games. Maybe Peters will but I don't.
If you were a coach worried about winning games right now, which would you go with?
Player A:
Since Christmas: .904 SV%, 2.81 GAA
Since All-Star Break: .911 SV%, 2.61 GAA
Player B:
Since Christmas: .902 SV%, 2.86 GAA
Since All-Star Break: .884 SV%, 3.02 GAA
Personally, I go with Player A, as they are trending in the right direction and I'm willing to bet any coach would agree.
Oh, and don't even bother answering, because if you say B, you'd be lying.
