IMO Talbot should've played last game or tonight.

But there a lot of mind games and perceptions that both coaches, even old school Peters, and goalies hold onto. Putting Rittich in after the overall team bad game vs Phx may send the wrong message, so he plays Thursday.

Tonight, he's on After Hours and my guess is he campaigned hard to play tonight in part because of that and a national game, thus the rest day yesterday, when really it should be Talbot.

My guess is Rittich Wed and next Sat afternoon, Talbot next Sunday vs Vegas. But that's too long IMO for Talbot to sit on the bench (2 or so weeks).
