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.

Its obviously not all on him but his job is to be ready...and not to play like he had never played the sport before. Most teams use 2 goalies in the playoffs
