It's simple math really, when your youngest player is also your best player it's Always best to bury them with older offshore signings that aren't half as good. It was just for fun I have my opinion and I've made it known on here. We're 7 games in to a 4-goalie circus, we know it doesn't mean much but when you have that many goalies it's hard not to look totally ridiculous, the only reason it's not catastrophic is because of those injuries. "It's early days...our 4-goalie system will look much better at the halfway mark" Zag had the following games: @COL Win 28/30 saves @COL Win 31/33 saves SD Win 21/24 saves BAK Loss 7/11 saves @BAK Win 24/27 saves That's pretty good numbers considering we have no great D in Stockton. What I find funny is you always go one about undrafted goalies, yet we do that and you get possy about him playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken, Rittich came over at the same age. Developing goalies isn;t just about finding the perfect drafted or undrafted 18 year old. And spending the next 3-6 years watching (with zero control over him) and developing him once he's in the NHL. It's also about having goalies sooner than later.

I did not know that having Rittich with mediocre NHL goaltending or less was considered a success. But I fear you are right and this is exactly how management is thinking right now.

robrob74 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 I like how Rittich was happy for him after the win too. It’s good to see and I think he has been in that role so much that I think splitting the games isn’t going to be a problem. Not like it was an undercurrent with Smith. I find it weird that we are getting mad at goaltending when in the games Rittich got lit up it was more from the team play. Goalies have bad games too. It sounds like Talbot has a bad game. The LA game Rittich had a few horrible bounces against him and the team didn’t show. I like Talbot and I think once the ya ram figures consistency out, the goaltending will be fine. And like I said earlier, I don’t necessarily think we need Rittich to be the bonafide #1 as he is quite used to platooning in net. he is a team guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So by your logic, Gillies should be in the net for the Flames?... For the Flames? If he were developed properly there's a good chance he would be there now yes. Certainly less talented than him have made the jump at his age. Whether that can happen now is difficult to tell. I'm saying Zagidulin should not be there at all. And if the Flames Really were that high on him then they should have made some trades rather then just ruining the development and value of all their prospects. I'm saying their best performer over this season and last season (Nick Schneider) probably shouldn't have been shipped off to the ECHL as he is also the youngest and the one with the most potential. But I'm assuming the Flames looked at his height and will bury him based on that unless he forces this issue with shutout after shutout after shutout. the message they're sending him is "it doesn't matter how you perform we'll keep demoting you and fill your spots with older taller goalies who are worse". I don't see how anyone here can see it any other way, it is quite ridiculous and the very least they could have done is loaned him to another AHL team that would have Gladly taken him. It's sloppy, it's lazy, it's disrespectful. If there is a way the Flames can find to ensure the absolute lowest quality of goalie development, they Always find it. It's been going on for years and it's amazing that anyone even defends them anymore, we all know it's an issue. The choices are whether to be honest about it or not.

Just like yours does the way I bolded it above So, Schneider had a stretch of 11 games in the AHL where he was "good". 6-3 record. The rest of the year in the ECHL he was "bad". One game he played here was "good". Gillies had 45 games last year in the AHL and was "bad" then became "good" at the end. This year Gillies has been healthy for one game and was "good". Gillies, by the way, can't be sent to the ECHL. So, you have three choices to send there. Parson, currently injured. Zag, who is actually putting up decent stats. Schneider, who has had one start.

Flames had a 21-year old with a 6-3 record that also actually stopped pucks, and they're burying him for it. so now he's showing that same level of play in 2 different leagues this year.

A guy that plays 2 games in the ECHL this year and 1 game in the AHL is a stud? He was poor in the ECHL last year and had a good record in the AHL last year. Since I only followed the Heat in game reviews and blogs, I have to ask a question. He played 11 games and 465 minutes. Did he not play 11 games? Only works out to 7+ games and his record is 6-3. Did he play relief in some of those games? Compare him to a guy who had a good record in the KHL last season. Was he gifted by playing on a team that could not be scored on? Write him off if you like because he's old. Schneider's trajectory is ECHL or AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conundrumed Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 My MVP for October. David Rittich. He's not only really good, he's fun. A goalie with a personality. Could this be a trend? He has me convinced that you can spot a good goalie and it's not, "goalies are a mystery". He had the fundamentals down pat when he got here. The rest is just fine tuning. When you're always where you're supposed to be to make the save, you aren't going to get lit up very often. And unlike Smith, it's not like riding a rollercoaster.

I also wonder if he can be a workhorse. He reminds me of my fave goalie, Rinne. 3rd last pick in 04. 11 year vet as a starter. Happy Birthday Pekka, 37 today. And going strong. Boy when you're really good fundamentally, like Rinne and Rittich, I think that's a long shelf life. But boy, if this is Rittich every day, which I think it is, he's going to get paid after next year. Wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they looked at the schedule and figure they would get Talbot two in a row, and let Rittich clean up in game 2 of the B2B. Talbot has gotten the 2nd game too often. He needs to build some confidence and part of that is having a fresh team in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
