The most important news item this week, is the Flames beat the Oilers. David Rittich looks like he’s going to be leaned on as the starting goaltender for a while. The guys debate if that’s a good idea, and what the Flames need to do to give Rittich the right chance as a starter.

Dan asks the question of how much Ryan Huska has been influential in the success of Juuso Valimaki and Rasmus Andersson this season?

We also take a look at the Stockton Heat, and the great play from Oliver Kylington and an unusual suspect – Nick Schneider – who is the starting goaltender in Stockton while Gillies and Parsons are hurt.

SportsClubStats.com has some interesting stats showing off their playoff probabilities for the Flames, which you can view here.
