^ What conclusion are you trying to arrive at?
Some people fail to realize that a goalie can play well and let in several goals, and can play poorly and let in comparatively few. Why this is, I have no idea.
I liked where Burke was going with his remark that he judges a goalie based on what he should stop. Not what he could stop and they hope he does, but what he should.
Goalies do get scored on. Burns shot was from far out but was a great shot with a quick release, and overpowered Rittich. Rittich did have to move laterally and reset and almost got it as well. The expected save percentage on shots a NHL goalie sees cleanly is around 95 percent.
Goals happen. Even if you take 30 shots on a goalie that you think he should have, likely at least one will go in.
