I still hold to my opinion that Rittich is more "Consistently Good Enough" than excellent goalie. Lots of quality starts, but relatively few outstanding games in comparison.

I think we can go far with a goalie like that. With a bit of luck, which is always needed anyway.

EDIT:
Of course it's yet to be seen whether he can handle playoff pressure, but only one way to find out and all that.

I'm not overly worried about our defense being a bit porous lately. Pressure and stakes have been low. Basically all teams tighten up considerably when the playoffs start, but you can't turn on offense the same way.
