You seem to think that not praising everything with hyperbole is denigrating Rittich. Those two games were pretty good but nowhere near his best.

My issue was that it seemed like you were hinting that the Flames needed to go back to Smith, the biggest sieve in hockey right now, because Rittich was just “fine” in his last 2 starts. When in realty the Flames put themselves in a big disadvantage with him in net besides the fact that he can play the puck well. Being an afternoon home game, it’s not surprising the flames came out flat, that’s why you don’t start Smith.
