Beauty write-up Bingo. One of your most entertaining!

I really liked the breakdown of goalie stats, which really highlights some of the differences in the tandem.

This honestly surprised me a bit:

Does this factor into the sense that the Flames score more goals in front of Rittich than they do for Talbot?

I think being more careful defensively would certainly take a little away from offence.

Last night was an huge exception though, as they gave up 17 for the poor guy. He went from 1st to 2nd in high danger chances against /60

Rittich while higher, is 11th, so it's not like night and day.

Great write up.

I will second the comment of Strange Brew, I appreciate the goalie insight.

Also the mention of the linesman. Sliding on his stomach and he still made the call! What a pro

Only other thing I would mention is the skill Johnny showed with that quick skate to stick move, and a celebration that seemed to show a bit more emotion that he hasn’t been showing outward a lot lately
