Goal 1: One review of the Lightning PP and you know that pass to below the goalline is going to be one touch back to the slot -> one timer. Rittich playing cautious goes down on what isn’t a shot attempt and then can’t challenge the shooter. Who was set up in view the whole time. Too cautious/poor prep. Hell of a shot though.
Goal 2: again goes down before the pass is made... of he wants to play like this he needs to play like he has spring board knee caps. But he isn’t.
4: stick in the air, Carey Price makes this save easily.
3 & 5 were tough breaks. 6 was Stamkos being Stamkos...but Rittich is deeper than I would have liked to see there. Again, you know the one timer is coming.
He just didn’t appear to play with much confidence all game. Not sure why, or how they can work on that. But I think it’s holding him back from being a legitimate starter.
