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.

I agree but it is not like they didn't have chances in the 3rd period to pad the lead. They need one more top 6 forward to be able to win these close games. I believe that if the Flames ever get up by 2 they have a system to close out games.
