Had to watch this game in pieces, so looking forward to the highlights.

But boy does it look like Rittich had a game.

Quite the contrast between the last two games. Reminds you of what a difference goaltending can make.

Also #### Hometown Hockey, absolutely insufferable.

The Flames were fortunate that Rittich was sharp. That was way too many shots to give up. Hopefully Peters rewards him and gives him the start on Tuesday because he earned it.

Cringing hard at that thread title. Flames had a good win, no reason to make it about the Oilers at all. Reeks of
a inferiority complex, against the Oilers no less.

AC buddy, I'm looking at you to provide that Rasmus Andersson celebration gif. I know you're good for it.

Nice to have goaltending steal us a win! Haven't seen that in a while. And man, this team is super dangerous when they have their forecheck going at full speed.

Flames played like garbage for most of that game, but thanks to Rittich, Johnny, and the 4th line, we got out of there with 2 points. Good teams find ways to win games where they're not playing their best, and tonight was a prime example of that. Good on the Flames for gutting this one out when their overall play was sub-par at best.

Let's hope we see a more complete game from the guys on Tuesday. Rittich was amazing tonight, and he deserves to get the start against the Habs.

What a back & forth affair, mostly Flames until the Bennett penalty, then it was all Rangers until the Andersson hit/Hathaway goal. Luckily Rittich made some great saves to win Calgary the game.

I love the conservative play of Rittich. It's exactly the kind of goaltending this team needs. No-nonsense, just sound positioning and reliability. I hope Peters can increase his starts a bit and grow his game over the course of the season. Also, Andersson getting extended looks with Gio, where does that leave TJ Brodie? Especially when Hamonic is back...

Rittich has saved 76 of 79 shots for a decent .962 save %

Great game by Rittich. How long has it been since we have been able to say the 4th line was the key.

Having Craig Simpson as the colour analyst was a nice change too.

My gosh stop with this Hometown hockey minor player interviews. I want game analysis from analysts, not what kind of player some random minor hockey kid thinks his game resembles, how he or she scores a goal or their favorite player. What a waste of airtime. Stop with the minor hockey information. No one cares.

That sequence at the end...



They still had a tiny chance the way they were playing. What a dummy! Then Andersson throws his arms up.

“I was ready for it”

Rittich is goofy as hell, but he’s also no nonsense.

Wow, Rangers post-game TV show is really salty.

"A goaltender I've never heard of just beat Lundvist."

"A young goalie just stole the win from the Rangers."

"Coming into this game, Vesey has as many goals as Johnny this season."
