Not playing a game in months before getting a short camp and then thrown into the fire in an elimination playoff game explain his play in the bubble.

First line is David Rittich, the second is Karri Ramo.

Rittich is a solid goalie. He’s not a 40+ game starter.

Had Sutter ever acquired a backup as good as Rittich, Kiprusoff wouldn’t have played 70 games SEVEN YEARS IN A GODDAMN ROW.
