Sure but we're really good at doing that. Look for the positives.

Not really. Rittich came into the Flames system as a 24 year old. He played one season splitting time or as the backup to Gillies, then was brought up after 12 appearances in the AHL the following year. So had a whopping 43 games or a season and a quarter (as a 24/25 year old) with the Flames to "develop."

yeah, you're probably right. The Flames had nothing to do with anything. Rittich probably drove himself here from the Czech Republic and suited up and basically said 'Get the F outta the way, Brad'.

Well, so much for that...

Congrats Wolfman!

Maybe the Flames should hire Everett's goalie coach?

The flames are a graveyard for everyone!!!!

He's a backup at best, and came here like that. Aim higher.
