This is a weird one for me. Rittich has the better career numbers against CBJ. But has been less than stellar of late. Talbot has been great lately, but has been poor coming off his best outings.

The team is typically poor in the first home game right off a long road trip. But they've been home for 3 days now.

The Flames have played up or down to their opponent. The opponent tonight is wounded but still making a decent showing of themselves overall.

So many wacky variables.

Also, re: Tortorella. I should hate him. He checks 2 major boxes. Coached Tampa in 04. Coached the rival Canucks too. Yet I have a hard time hating him as well. Always comes across very nice when interviewed outside hockey. Wouldn't want him coaching here though.
