Going in, I felt the flames needed 4 out of 6 in these 3 games. Win tonight, and things immediately feel much better...
Lost in all this, is Rittich is looking like a legit nhl goalie through his first 5 starts. He's been extremely calm out there.
This team is built upon a game plan of winning low scoring games or stretching the game past regulation where they have an edge. It's not a good game plan, and definitely not one that a trajectory to being a strong playoff will be observed....
It's very Brent Sutter like where the strong offensive D we have is being wasted yet again.
