I mean, my god, the guy is 20-4-5. His regulation losses were (aside from two hooks) of the 1-0 and 2-0 variety. They're coming off two breaks, he just looked rusty like every one else on the team. Looked better as the Vancouver game went on. Not concerned.

Agreed. I thought he looked particularly good in the OT where he seemed confident and made a couple of big stops. I think as long as the Flames don't have anymore long breaks, they should be fine. Their scheduling this year has been wacky to say the least, and I think it took them out of their rhythm, including Rittich.
The last two losses are more on the team in front of him for not capitalizing on countless grade A scoring chances. Not to mention the PP went 0-5 in the Vancouver game. Not good enough.
