If Smith isn't ready, I would call up Rittich and see if he at least looks competent. If he's as piss poor as the other two, then I think priority #1 for Treliving is to go out and get a decent back up.
He has an NHL win, FWIW (and looked pretty good getting it in a game where the Flames had nothing to play for).

His only other appearance was in a blowout where the Flames had given up. And in which one goal was a breakaway and another was on a two man advantage after a brawl where no one had their head in the game any more. You can't tell anything about Gillies from last night.
