They need to just let Schmid sink or swim, at least for the next little while.Sadly, that's not true. Neither he -- nor anyone else -- even has to be good to improve their goaltending.
At this point they'd be better off taking a chance with another Vitek-like goalie than continuing to roll out the genuine article.
He’s been in the dog house over the Islanders and last Capitals game, despite a good effort in St. Louis.
Meanwhile, Vitek plays a mediocre game in Colorado, which was obviously excused for both “Bad defense” and “On the road against one of the better teams in the league” and got yet another chance tonight, Schmid was supposed to sit for at least two weeks.
And you know if Vitek didn’t play like a worthless bum tonight then Schmid definitely wouldn’t have gotten the Winnipeg game; which would have meant 13-14 days between games. He would have gotten one of the back to back games late next week.
