Goaltending has been the biggest question mark of this team since the summer. Anyone who looked up and down the roster knew what a glaring weakness it was. Smith has been worse than expected but Rittich really surprised and answered some of the questions about him.
The problem is after Rittich there is nothing, seriously nothing. If Big Save Dave's play dips (it has) or if he's hurt the Flames are totally boned. Hell looking at Treliving's tenure in Calgary it's been continuing swings and misses on goaltending.
Personally I'm a fan of Rittich and think he'll get it back. Brodie's been struggling too and when one of your top Dmen struggle in their own zone the goaltending will suffer too.
Still need to address the backup role though. A major win at the deadline will be getting a bonafide 1a/b net minder.
