I would quite specifically point to the Tampa game as a crystal clear demonstration of that.
I don’t care what goalie was in. For the love of god, please stop with the bias claims.
I sure as heck don’t want you to check with me, that would be silly and I enjoy reading your opinion as is. But on the days where the numbers don’t match the eye test, time and inclination permitting, I may decide to express my view.
Even the analytics guys acknowledge sv% is not good enough, shot quality exists, and that small samples of data can’t always be relied on as representative

His goals saved above average and dSV% have both cratered in the last 10 weeks. There isn't a goalie stat that exists that doesn't show he's off the game he had to start the season.
At 26 I hope Rittich finds it and is the answer for this core, that would be the best case scenario. But at the moment the Flames are dealing with two backup goaltenders and hoping one of them can be good enough to start in the playoffs.
And given the passion of defending Rittich in the last few weeks, I think the bias term is pretty fair.
