Flames recall Gillies on emergency basis. Brouwer placed on IR
per AHL transactions
the only question is how long does he stay up?

I suspect Rittich plays all the games Smith misses, unless it's gonna be a long time.

Sucks if we lose Smith, but not too worried. Either Rittich is as good people are hoping, in which case we won't lose a step, or the team shows they don't need great goaltending to win games...
and if it turns out this team has been carried by goaltending, that's not necessarily a bad thing to expose.
I think Smith has played too much and Rittich too little anyway. Smith needs rest and Rittich deserves games.

Sucks for Brouwer, but that's a nice amount of salary to put on IR.

He has been inconsistent in the AHL but also this has been his best season to date. So he is developing well as it would appear

Parsons got injured in a collision with Wotherspoon and is being re-evaluated. MacDonald looks like the go to guy in Stockton for the time being.

I have faith in Rittich to hold the fort. Hopefully Gillies shows what he's got if he gets a chance.

The silver lining of this injury is that it's a good opportunity for pretty much all the goalies in the Flames system to show what they can do at the next level of their development.

All I can get

Rittich can take the next two road games vs. Boston and Nashville, then the team will be home to the Panthers Saturday. Smith might be okay by then.

Maybe not, but I trust Rittich's five hole a lot more than Smith's.
We'll see what happens, but I'm willing to see what Rittich can do in an expanded role.

I have a friend in Stockton who is a season ticket holder and all indications are that Gilles has been playing better of late and no coincidence gaining confidence.
My friend also indicated that his positioning has really improved since the start of the season.
