    Rittich surprisingly named the starter for tonight's game in Vegas. Smith most likely goes tomorrow in Arizona.

    Another tough start/sit decision...

    That's a really weird decision by the Flames. Vegas are playing well so I'm not sure how great a start it is tonight, but that said Calgary is a good team and will want to bounce back. I'm putting him in my lineup but that's sort of my M.O. early in the week of h2h. Go with your gut; there are good arguments for and against sitting him tonight.

    I agree it's a weird decision. Maybe the coaches just want to throw him back out there to help his confidence and show they still trust him. I'm starting to think they started him vs Toronto the other night because they legitimately have more confidence in him than Smith. Then again, they could be trying to get Smith to have himself a nice revenge game vs Arizona.

    Regardless, I still think it's a risky start. VGK has been on a tear lately, and that's without Stone producing like he can.

    Bishop's shutout last night helped dip my GAA from 6.00 to 3.00 and my sv% is currently .900. My goalie cats are all up for grabs at this point in the week with Bishop left to face COL/CHI and Gibson to face MTL/STL/LOS.


    EDIT: And now I see this tweet: "In 34 starts, David Rittich has allowed >3 goals in regulation only three times. Those three games came against TB, Toronto and SJ. Who are the three highest-scoring teams? TB, Toronto and SJ."

    Certainly doesn't make the decision to bench him tonight any easier.

    Flames are giving Rittich the tough games and Smith the weak games so when they go in to the playoffs and start Smith they can go "well look how much better his sv% and gaa and record was since the All-Star break vs Rittichs" and not have fans boo when Smith loses them the first 2/3 games/whole series

    Big bounce back game from Rittich last night. Unforunately didn't get the W, but 36 saves on 38 shots. Glad I had him in my lineup.

    Wish I could say the same about Gibson.
