You're either ignoring that or not seeing it. Not sure which.

I see what you are saying and not ignoring it.
I see it as flawed. Some shots are physically impossible to stop, when placed perfectly enough and shot quickly enough. That is not something you appear to care about factoring in.
I consider Rittich to have been solid based on what appears to be physically possible in the situation
You keep coming back to essentially quantity of saves vs shots. Your expectation and opinion is driven / informed or whatever by numbers.
Like I said, I base my opinion on the actual events, not on the count of them.
I don’t judge the performance of a goalie based on the physically unreasonable or impossible.
To me a goalie can let in 6, and still have played well.
