Flames @ Red Wings, 5:30 PM MST. Sportsnet West, Fan 960
Time to hit the road, Jack. After a 5-2 homestand, the boys start six straight away from the 'Dome tonight in Detroit. Mike Smith wasn't on the flight, and as of yet no one's been called up from Stockton. Can the secondary keep scoring? Will the Legend of Eddie Lack write another triumphant chapter? Hold on for game-time!

Team needs to come together for Lack and the Wings are going to be ready for revenge. Need to play a solid game and squeak out a 3-1 game.

Rittich is going to end up as some other teams Kipper. I'm not sure what else he can do to prove that he's ready for some NHL time.

FAN960 reported yesterday that Smith did not make the flight to Detroit because he was undergoing treatment. He will rejoin the team on the road.

Rittich 5GP 4-1, 2.20 GAA, .928 sv%, 2SO
Gillies 8GP 4-3-1, 2.50GAA, .918sv%, 1SO
I'll be at the game tonight. The Flames record when I go to Detroit to watch is likely under .500, the only game that I remember vividly is the game in the playoffs where Jamie McLennan came in late and slashed anything that moved, 2006 maybe?
Anyway, just saw that John Shannon said that Mike Smith is with the team but not dressing and Gillies is called up.
Lack starting it would seem. I will say 5-3 Flames.

They had the conversation yesterday regarding Gillies and Rittich. I tend to agree that it really is a coin flip between them, but Flames lean towards Gillies because they drafted, put time developing him and is younger.

Goalie analysis time. I think Howard will be in net again, and unlike Mrazek he's been very hard to beat lately. The Flames will have to make life miserable for him - bodies in front, shoot for the low rebounds, don't even try to pick the corner clean unless you have no supporting forwards crashing the net and no pass. Jagr's butt in his face, Tkachuk pretending that he's Ginger Ryan Reynolds, etc.
It took a perfect cross-crease one timer and 9 rounds of the shootout to beat the Wings with Bobrovsky completely standing on his head. That game was a goaltending battle if I ever did see one, but Howard looked pretty solid facing the Vezina winner. The start before that, a screen and a goal mouth scramble vs VAN. This is how the Flames need to score on Howard.
Allen was one goalie that was relatively easy to beat if you can figure out his game. He can stop the first shot pretty easy, but bad on scrambles and one timers. He doesn't track the play as well as other goalies, and it showed last game. Howard is far more experienced and technical, has better angles and can track the play better, and the stats from his last few starts show:
.969, 1 GA
.929, 2 GA
.931, 2 GA
.909, 3 GA
.957, 2 GA
Flames will need to remain calm and not frustrated when Howard starts standing on his head, because I have a strong feeling he will.
