It a shame, he's almost the perfect backup. Heart of gold, hilarious persona, and the dude can play. It'd be nice to have him another few years I say.
It'll be interesting in the Summer. It's always musical chairs for goalies. If things break in favour of the Flames, he could sign back with the Flames on a 1 year deal. It would suck for Rittich but Flames fans would be happy.

Rittich’s salary is a sunk cost. Trading him saves money, not costs money. Plus you are using cap, not prorated salary.

Francis has been covering the team for a while but I don't recall a time when players have been as fed up with him as they have this year.

I was surprised that Rittich had a Leafs mask with his number on it so quick. How do they turn that around in less than two days?

It's usually a wrap that is designed and then applied to their existing mask, just like what they did to (parts of) his pads.

The mask was definitely a printed graphic sheet vinyl wrap and applied to the mask. The colouring on the striping of the pads was a product called Pad wrap.

In case people didn't see this. He is more than likeable. Just a great guy overall. Saw this in Herald this morning.

Toronto Media is already turning on BSD. Not sure what they expected for a third round pick, he’s a solid backup with the occasional stinker.

Glad he won't be there long term, he deserves better than to deal with Toronto media

I think Pearson was actually trying to dump the puck there. I don't want to give BSD an excuse because that was a bad goal but that is an unusual angle for a shot to be taken. (because it wasn't intended to be a shot on goal I think)

I think Dave thought the shot was coming on net and tried to re-direct it into the corner, when instead it was going into the corner and he re-directed it into the net.

That puck would have left the zone at 80mph if that was a dump in. It was a bad shot and a bad goal.

No excuses as they were horrific goals to give up in a game that the Leafs had a 3rd period lead. This isn't new for Rittich as it's the reason the Flames gave Markstrom his big fat contract. I wish BSD well but if he considers himself a starting goaltender he's going to have to work harder on his craft as he's nowhere near consistent enough.
