Take a step away and say it was San Jose or LA or Colorado were going to go with a couple of rookie goalies with a total of 26 NHL games between them with their #1 on IR.
Pretty sure that the consensus would be that the non-Flames team's management looked and said this was not a team that was ready for the playoffs..... basically writing off the season.
Riitch was not good enough to cover for the weak zone coverage last night but would be shocking he and Gillies don't actually lose a couple of games.

They didn't decide to do that. An injury forced it.
I think they likely looked around at veteran options and decided that any of the options weren't better than the rookies.
Which is probably true.
But no I don't think management looked at the team and wrote off the season.
