Pretty much just linking video to show that the Toronto Sports Network has taken notice of our team.

You'll notice they did the math on Lindholms line continuity in Carolina last year and to what he's doing now. Big change. Turns out all he needed was some stability in linemates. At least thats the way it appears so far.

Road Smith and Home Smith are two very different people. And, he's the one who got the curse breaker at the Honda Center last year. And, we need him to get rolling.

LA traffic? Hard to get to the game after work on time?

Go Flames Go! I love the late starts since I can catch the last half of the game after work.

I’m aware of that, but I don’t like the message it sends Rittich. He earned the Anaheim start.

His last game was pretty average. And you can only go so far with "win and you're in" and still maintain a healthy balance of the workloads.

The Same Rittich who let in 3 goals on what? 11 shots? He's playing the way a backup should right now. But we also need our starter.

Rittich had a bad start last game, not sure he earned this start.

So excited for some hockey after a 4 day break but damn this late start. I'll be lucky to get to the end of the first period before I need to go to bed

Stupid single game save percentage. What a gear grinder.

He didn’t have much chance on the goals.

15 muffins from the outside that are easy to stop don’t make him play better.

And the blind Rittich rhetoric is an equal gear grinder. Let's honest, there's no sunshine and lollipops in net regardless of whoever one chooses to support. I do support Peters decisions enough to not cry either way as to who gets the start.

On my drive home Peters said Smith was starting based on Sigalet’s recommendation.

Meh, we've seen both sides of both goalies at this point. I'm still willing to give Peters the benefit of the doubt given his record thus far

Yeah Smith is a vet, has really struggled, and who can’t play his way out of a funk without playing. They have to get him going.

The way the team has played lately, they have been playing well enough to win in spite of crap goaltending, which hopefully they keep up.

I'm not excited about how everyone is talking about how crappy the Ducks are. Just never good before a game.
