The whole point of having 2 goalies... neither of which was a clear #1 going into the year... was to roll with the hot hand if/when they had it... and it seems right now Smith is more "hot" than Koskinen so I agree... roll with that until he no longer is winning games.
Koskinen was sharp vs the Coyotes even though he let 2 in (neither his fault) and last season Smith got better as the year went along (Smith seems to play better when the pressure is on... ie playoffs)... so I actually think goaltending could be a lesser issue for this team down the stretch.
I think there's a good chance that between Smith/Koskinen... they'll get decent/good goaltending the rest of the way. Of course there will be stinkers along the way but I think splitting time between those 2 and going with who's hot... until they're not is a reasonable strategy.
Koskinen is hard to put a finger on right now. He has looked so good at times and then so bad it’s insane. I guess same can be said about Smith, but he has been more consistent lately and had way more good games than bad.
we also just simply don’t have a good defense, and we are clowns in our own end so it makes it extremely difficult for any goalie to steal us a game
I keep hoping we make playoffs and Smith has a Halak from Montreal type playoffs. That would be amazing. That type of goaltending plus our scoring, we would be a Stanley cup team for sure.
