Is Rittich the real deal?

[Flames Fanatic]

I'm a bit worried about his workload but he's been very solid so far this year.

At this point I think he's a solid starter - not a superstar, but considering he didn't cost the Flames anything he's been a great find.

After the ups and downs of the past decade of goaltending for the Flames, I think we'll happily take "just average/solid" starter lol.

Guy is an absolute beauty. Was disappointed Treliving only got him for 2 years. Was hoping for 3.

Since his first starts with Calgary, I always saw a solid starter.

I think he's going to round in to a top 15 goal tender in the league.

The only thing that does concern me about him is his ability to stay healthy.

He seems to "tweek" something once a year.

Probably a good thing if he tweaks something a couple times this year, otherwise he'd be starting 78 games. Needs something to give him a night off.

Yeah....probably a fair assessment.

Not only is he a pretty damn good goalie, he's also hilarious.

The thing that most impresses me is his focus, always seems to be able to track the puck through a maze of bodies.

He is weird, which is a big plus if you're a goaltender.

Not sure he can handle a starters workload, but we are going to find out.

He is legit in that he's a starter. Now is he just a good one or can he have the ability to be one of the best, remains to be seen.

I really like this guys makeup though.

Riddick is terrible, one of the worst starters in the league, bottom 5.
