I don't care if Rittich came to the restart 40lbs overweight, there's no level of preparation possible to come into that situation and perform even a little bit.
Considering Cassie's husband happens to be an AGM (weird) of the team, that practice info tidbit is probably a pretty strong reflection on how the organization feels and tells me when the Flames move 19th overall for Kuemper they are going to be finding a new home for Big Save Dave before next season. Probably in the transaction that lands Kuemper or Murray in Calgary.

So outside of injury, you never us a backup I guess.
