Yes and no. I think one of the failures of last season was squarely on how often the Flames returned to the "Mike Smith well" in the first half of the year. With a little more pacing between games I believe this will make a world of difference when it does matter most in February, March, and April.
In any event I think that Rittich starts one of the next two, and that is a good thing.
