Rittich has played three games in almost a year. Maybe we should calm down a bit before we shoot him.

Anyone defending Rittich on that one is out to lunch.

He slid right out of position. Would've hit him right in the chest if he was in position.

I missed the first half of the period. Are we seeing the beginning of the end of Rittich as a viable goaltender?

Sheesh. Can we get through a first period without giving up 2 or 3 goals? Blech

I think that’s because they are faster and more skilled.

Calgary beats them with better defence.

Although the games between them will usually be decided by the goaltending.

Can't be to patient in a short season playing only in our division, but your point is valid for sure

Thank goodness Lucic is getting all his minutes though. Wouldn't want any sort of accountability for crap plays on our team. Phew.

Rittich has been hot garbage as well, overplaying everything.

Lol. I love how these threads are a bunch of people's little personal freak out sessions.

It's like twitter in here. Just random screaming and streams of consciousness.

Love it.

For a few shifts here sure, Flames obviously on their heels too, but a lot happens over the course of a game.

I saw us make them look like dog crap for long stretches last night too.

This is how the Flames look when they're not feeling confident in their goalie. It's more that than an overall "skill" thing.

So when a Rittich gets waived who’s there to fill in? Domingue?

Yeah, let's just let him lose us 5 or 6 games single handedly while he works out the kinks

I agree, if he hadn't over reacted he would have had it. He most got it as it was but it handcuffed him because he was moving the way he was.

Rittich just has no confidence. Sad to see. Flames are playing not too bad but Backlund needs to get his head out of his derriere

Horrible defending by Flames.

Wake up.

Daves just trying to damn hard.
If he relaxes and let's the game come to him instead of overpusuing and trying to prove himself all over again hell be fine.
That hot head will get him every time .

I don't want him strung up or anything, but I don't want him to be left imploding on the ice either.

Give the guy a time out when he's blowing it and let him get his head together. Maybe have a chat with the goalie coach
