I'd expect Smith to get the start and it's a much needed start. I am not a Smith fan but Koskinen is way better when there is a legit threat of someone taking starts from him. Tippet has a history with Smith, he likes Smith so he will give Smith starts.

I was thinking they start Smith tomorrow and give Koskinen a chance to rebound from Saturday’s crap show.

They could do that too. They are going to split regardless I assume. I do wonder if Tippett would want to get Smith in right away to make sure the team has a lift. Lots of talk about how quiet the teams main guys are but Neal and Smith are on of the more vocal guys that help get guys going. I could see this Ottawa game being one of those let down games we saw in the past. The team comes off a tough loss to a good team. A loss where they probably could/should have won but didn't because of a few key issues. Markstom let in 4 but stood on his head for a lot of that game. It should have been 3 or 4 to 1 after the first. So I could see the team coming into a game they should win easily and piss it away. Happened lots in the past. Smith would come in fired up.
