I'll hang on until the completion of the season to come to a conclusion. Honestly Rittich has been great despite my personal steadfast belief that the Flames goaltending is hopeless. Not just Smith, all of it. The entire sum of its parts.

IF....IF Rittich can sustain this through a playoff run then I'll probably say yes? Even then I'm so doubtful of any long term solution within the system that I'd still be on the no side.

I would just hate for this to be a Jim Carey season and then we get another goalie egg in the face.
