Damn I really feel bad for Mike Smith. Came to town on fire for finally having a chance to make a difference in a passionate market. Was the Flames MVP up until his injury last year. Has just as much drive and want to win than anybody.

And then this sharp decline. Just can't get over the mental hurdle, and it just keeps getting worse.

But you gotta do what's best for the team, and right now that is giving the reigns to Rittich. Let's see what he can do with a good stretch of games.

Gotta be demoralizing outshooting them by that much and your goalie can not make the few saves he should make.

Not so sure. He has a reputation for being pig-headed and playing his favorites.

I hope the fans give Rittich a standing ovation right before their next home game.

I hope Backlund doesnt get suspended for that. Cant crosscheck guys on the bench.

You can see the momentum that that goal sapped. Boys have nothing left.

Flames seem to have lost their energy after that goal. Need a final push.

If Smith starts against the Oil on Saturday they might score 20. He is flat out the worst starting goalie in the NHL.

Definitely. Habs have no business being in this game, which makes this even more frustrating.
