Rittich had his ups and downs (more ups, of course), but he's still one of my favorite players. Just a great guy and a Flame through and through. I'll never forget the press conference from last week where he was a bit choked up telling the reporter not to make a story of him regarding the trade deadline and how much he enjoys it here, it wasn't generic trade deadline player speak either, the guy loved this team, the city and the fans. I hope he continues to enjoy a long and successful career.
