Have higher expectations...average goal tending shouldn't be considered "playing great"
obviously wishing for an injury was way too far

He had a 925 or so over the last month and was on a six game winning streak. Against Minnie the Flames were outshot by 10 and he had a shutout. Average goaltending gets them a loss in that game.
Basically, to me it's fair to criticize his poor performances, but not fair to then dismiss his good ones by saying any goalie would have won those games. If that said fair, then Rittich gets no credit either, because there haven't been many where he was tasked that hard either.
