More importantly it adds to our already impressive stable of attractive Swedes.

The Flames were in a spot to take a chance on a Goalie with a big contract. Rittich kinda showed last year that he's a 1B, even if he ends up being a really good 1B. Plus there isn't a whole lot in the system pushing as the Flames best goalie prospects are still YEARS away from being ready. There's definitely risk involved like with any long term signing, but I think this is a good and reasonable gamble for a team to take.

Plus the attractive Swede thing.
Has Pepsi given this his seal of approval?

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
