I don’t even care about wins or losses at this point. Being a Flames fan this year has been so fun. Games are quick, lot s of chances, exciting hockey. Team doesn’t give up when they’re down. And players that aren’t cutting it are demoted, while those showing signs of life are brought to the center stage.

I would have personally started Smith. In my mind, he’s still the clear starter. But I can’t argue Peters’ approach here, throwing down the gauntlet for Rittich to show up. Like Peters said in camp, he doesn’t owe anyone on this team anything.
