Desmith for me. Murray is horrible since day 1 of the season. On the other side, Smith had some good games with the Flames lately. So, he should get more starts than Murray.
DeSmith
Rittich
There seem to be a lot of "_______ or Rittich" posts in here already, but let me throw this one out there. Both seem to be in similar situations: outplaying a more highly paid, underperforming, and often injured preseason starter. Who gets more starts going forward?
This would be for the first team in my sig (points-based), thinking of dropping DeSmith for Rittich.

It's really, really close. I give the goalie edge to DeSmith and the team edge to the Flames (duh.)
As a Murray owner, perhaps I am clouded by the undying necessity to handcuff that slob. I also trust Smith more than Murray ROS.
I believe Calgary has more belief in Smith then Pittsburgh does in Murray right now. Desmith is my choice here.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I agree with the previous posts, Smith has been decent Murray not so much.
The only concern now is Smith back this week?
