Default Nov 16 practice notes. Rittich starts against Oilers. Lindholm maintenance day

No Elias Lindholm at practice this morning. He blocked a shot in the second period last night that hurt him, but was able to finish the game. #Flames


More updates as they come

@Fan960Wills
For what it’s worth, Mike Smith is in the starter’s net at #Flames practice. I already regret hitting Tweet. – at Scotiabank Saddledome

That would be something. If he starts, well, I have no words.

Well, when there's a Wills, there's a way.

There is no way. They can’t just let him “work his way out of it” we are over a month into the season now and the back up goalies last start was a 1-0 shutout.

I kinda got giving him the Start Against Montreal after San Jose - he had a strong final 40 after a rough start against SJ but no way should he be in the net again tomorrow.

Loubardias on 960 on why the Flames might give him the start

"they might say here's one more chance against a team he has outstanding numbers against"

Thats not Lou advocating giving Smith the start, just saying he could see it.

(I initially thought Lou was making excuses for the team until I caught on to what he was really saying)

Oh God. Little early to be hitting the panic button, but if Smith starts against the Oil there truly are no words.

This will do wonders for Rittich's confidence for his next start... Well we better score 10 goals then.

Could just be mind games, Edmonton thinks Smith is starting and finds out Ritter is in net.

I will not be watching if Smith starts, what a mind numbingly dumb decision that would be. Like are you ####ing serious. This team is like a charity service for older washed up players.


The man has lost you 4 games easily this year, only the flames would keep throwing him out there. Matt Murray can’t even start for Pitt but mike smith can get every chance in the world to stay the starter. Some teams get it and some don’t, I’m starting to get the impression the flames don’t get a lot of ####ing things.

Are they trying to destroy Mike Smiths confidence? A loss against the Oilers at home will become his cross to bare no matter how well he plays.

As long as we score 5 or more we should be able to keep it close

This team is bonkers. I have yet to understand a single goaltending move they've made over the last five years. Jesus Christ.

Starting Smith is "guaranteed loss night". Why on earth would you do that against your biggest rival, at home?

If Smith starts, load up your fantasy team with every Oiler you have. McPoutyPants might score 10 with Smith in net.
