Not sure if I blame anyone but Rittich on the 0.1 goal. 3 Flames came out and challenged the shot, then when it weakly went to the side, and puck behind the net, with that amount of time, you have to keep it back there and prevent the wrap around which is what Gio and Brodie did.

Rittich was far far to slow to respond to get to the post, the only place that the Preds had to score, because Gio was trailing the guy behind the net, so the one side was covered...Brodie flew through there and abandoned the front too to prevent the wraparound and or get a piece of the pass.

I guess one the forwards could’ve gotten closer to Granlund, Backlund had knocked Duchense down.

The extra half seconds that Rittich both took staying on his belly and then trying to get all the way up before deciding that getting to the post first, was the better option, cost the Flames.

It shouldn’t have even gotten to that point if he made a basic chest save on Josi a few minutes earlier.
