Glad to see they're going back to Rittich again tonight. Smith against the Sharks would be terrifying.

Yea it was pretty obvious Fro was gonna get back in. This looks more like Walsh trying to impress prospective clients. “See, look at the power I have to defend your interests!”.

I’ve predicted it almost every game. Or at least ever since his drought began.

Pat Steinberg@Fan960Steinberg

Aaron Dell first off this morning. Looks like he’ll start for the #SJSharks tonight. 5-4-3 with a 0.904 SV%.

#Flames go with David Rittich; 12-4-3 with a 0.924 SV%.

Start a thread, ask for a poll, take bets. Profit?

It’s been a rough patch of missed points lately, but the Flames have brought great efforts against top teams all season so I’m expecting a hard fought win tonight. Would love to see Jankowski continue his success and Rittich backstop at an elite level.
Go Flames!

Despite a small group on CP insisting that the Flames will continue to split the starts between the two goalies simply because Rittich has never played more than however many games, it's highly unlikely the Calgary coaching staff would actually do this given the quality of goaltending they've seen when Smith starts. Rittich will continue to get the bulk of the starts the rest of the way unless he fails to keep the starter's net.

Bennett Jankowski Neal works Ok on paper. I wish there was a better passer among the group. It should have some sand though.

Let's finish up 2018 on a high note.

3-1 Flames (Tkachuk, Monahan, Frolik (EN) for Calgary, Kane for San Jose).

Happy New Year CP! GFG!

Sharks and turtles are natural enemies in the wild. For Keanu, this one is personal. For once, the roles will be reversed as he looks to ring in the new year by feasting on the sharks and... 2 HUGE POINTS!

Will be at the game tonight, but the TV will be left on for him. Go Flames Go!

I remember that one NYE game against the Oilers where Jooris scored the winner. Good times.

I seem to recall that we usually play the oilers on NYE games. This one will be a tough test for sure.
