No, you start Rittich for sure. I’m just not expecting a good outcome given recent games vs the Oilers.
I’m just saying that I see a situation where after Saturday, it could look very grim with both goalies coming off bad games.
Rittich has played so well that I’m almost waiting for him to fail. Just like last year. He’s a great guy but he just doesn’t have the pedigree. Even in his one statistically good season in the AHL, the coaches still seemed to have more faith in Gillies.
I’d love for Rittich to surprise and become a legit number 1 but history just doesn’t support it. With his resume, there’s no way he should become a legit number one goalie in the NHL, but I’m hoping for a miracle.
