No controversy in my mind with Rittich giving up 3 goals on 3 shots in a row. As you mention, deflection, screen, superstar roofing it. It’s just a coincidence they were consecutive. Whether or not they sprinkle some stoppable shots in between wouldn’t change the type of shots they are.
Ullmark’s glove on Frolik was great and his blocker on Tkachuk was unbelievable. Not likely replicable. Those saves stole the game.
Or we could treat Frolik and Tkachuk like they are Rittich. Should have buried them. Just not good enough.
