It's not an over reaction or a lack of perspective to suggest he needs to be better.

Seems like there are a couple of players that have Teflon around them and aren't allowed to be discusses when they have an off game.

Having said that I'm not that worried, every player goes through ups and downs, and right now Rittich is fighting it a bit.
I guess it's all perspective. Neal has been trending better over a similar number of games. Is Neal trending up and Rittich just going through a rough stretch. Is Neal going through a "hot streak" and Rittich trending down?

The thing with Rittich is that he is uncharted territory. No one can really sawy how he will handle #1 responsibility and a playoff run. The thing about a true #1 is that yo have to follow up a bad game with a better one. He has not had many opportunities to do that.
