I admit I have a soft spot for him and I missed the first period. Statwise, it looks horrible. But sometimes its harder to play a game like this where you do not see a lot of action, especially if this is his first game in months. Still got to be better if he wants to keep the backup job.

Just relief,

Kind of sad that so many players feel that their only way to get noticed is to get in a meaningless fight. But I guess outside of Rittich, Mangiapane and Dube, (and maybe Foo), nobody else playing this game has a chance of making the Flames' roster out of camp this year.

I think Alan Quine (Sp) has an outside shot at 13/14F. I've been pleasantly happy with him so far. Great guy to fill the press box

Stop taking penalties so we can get more Dewbabe goals.

Have been impressed with Viktor Svedberg, steady and making smart plays.

Going five hole agianst Rittich on a breakaway seems to be awfully efficient.

Dube is a beast.

Rittich, not so much.

Feels like Rittich is having a bad game but Yamamoto is just cherry picking at the blueline waiting for breakaways. It's how he got both goals.

Just seeing the replay of Dube's hat trick. Says a lot about the guy that when the third slips home he acts like he's done it a hundred times before.

Rittich's going to have to forget about this one... not his best outing.

Edit: literally clicked post as they scored the 6th, lol.

Well at least we don't need to worry about Rittich getting claimed.

I know it’s his first game of the preseason but I have not been impressed by Rittich at all. He looks completely uninterested.

I hope Treliving has a backup plan, pun intended.

I know this is the first game of preseason, but he does not look ready to go. At all. We should try Jeff Glass next game if he is with us on a PTO.
