[GDT] Ducks at Flames 2:00 PM

[Robo]

I'll be skiing today the ski hill by my house has free lift passes today so I'm gonna take my kids. I dont know if I can stomach watching the flames right now anyway

[The Hendog]

Hopefully Talbot gets the start!

Just win

[Bingo]

Hope to get a game story in today guys ... have been sick all weekend so didn't get around to writing a Saturday game story that I'm guessing everyone would have been too frustrated to read anyway.

Finally back in my STH seats for the first time since mid-December.
So maybe that will be the luck they need to start a streak at home.

Ryan on IR. Urgg.

Still no starting goalie named? Odd

If the Flames lose this one, their chances of making the playoffs likely dip below 50%. They had better show up and work hard because this Ducks team is going to want to avenge the embarrassing loss from last week.

Afternoon game, against a team we just crushed, at home, got a bad feeling about this one.

A win would be nice, just for those attending at the dome if nothing else.

[browna]

Should stick with Talbot, even if he played a half a game unexpectedly.

If Rittich isn't ready as the pressure seems to mount, go with the guy who's been there before.

According to the odds makers we around 40% after being around 60% for January.

I understand if people don't agree with my statement. However, I would like to see short-term loss that can lead to long-term success rather than being stuck in mediocrity. I am not cheering for the Flames to lose forever.

That doesn't make me a troll.. just someone with a different viewpoint. Not everyone wants to hump the Flames 24/7 like you.

Troll's probably the wrong word. You do sure post a lot of bad takes though.

Loser could be the right word when you're cheering for your team who is in the middle of a tight playoff race to lose instead of win.

Talbot is 12th amongst goalies who have played 20 games in save percentage.

Rittich is 34th amongst goalies who have played at least 20 games.

Rittich is 4-6 in his last 10 starts, giving up 31 goals in this games

Talbot is the 5-1-1 in his starts in 2020 giving up 15 goals in those 7 games.

All signs point towards Ward and the Flames giving Rittich the start.

[MillerTime GFG]

Taking My 5 and 7 year olds to their first ever game today. I just hope they get to celebrate a goal. Anything else is gravy.

[TheScorpion]

I have a sneaking suspicion that Gawdin will play so well that they won't be able to rationalize sending him back.

Might be a little difficult to prove that much in one game, especially if Ryan is ready to go in time for Boston, but I think Gawdin has a lot to show.

Who? The Ducks after that game in Anaheim?

If we lose, I'd rather it be by 6 goals so we can clean house at the deadline
