Hopefully, Bill Peters is smart enough to know, now, to let Mike Smith slowly ride off into the sunset and be a backup to Rittich. Not an ideal solution, but that's the best option for now since nobody is giving up their decent starter for cheap.

I really wish we still had Gully's "you win, you're in". Smith hasn't really done anything to earn this many starts at this point.
Good thing our division sucks.
Win the next one, and we’re at the top again haha.
Was at the SJS game last night, leafs win, good for us.

Smith needs to do what Price just did...because that break obviously worked for him!
Probably because they feel Rittich (based on last season) is not capable of being the #1 guy night in and night out. Being able to play good once every 10 days is a lot different then being able to post good numbers every other night week after week as a true #1.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Not saying their thinking is correct in this case, because Smith needs to figure his shit out in practice but Rittich had a chance last season to be the #1 goalie and he shit the bed.
Rittich's ability to be a #1 at this point is unknown.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Smith's ability to be a #1 at this point is NOT unknown.
I agree 100% that Rittich needs to get the next couple starts but Rittich had the opportunity to take the #1 job last season when Smith got hurt and he did fuck all with it. So Rittich's ability to be the starter is not 100% unknown.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Just read that Rittich getting the start.
Smooth sailing from this point all the way to the Cup...Smitty retires with a ring. Win-win situation.
How many more bad goals does Smith have to let in before Rittich gets the majority of the starts? Bill Peters is nuts.
Really though the Flames need to get themselves a tier 1 goalie - how they go about that I do not know the best answer haha.

When Derek Ryan is scoring, that says a lot.
Oh man, what a beautiful finish.
What a game! Suck it Oilers!
