Bingo, all due respect, your analysis is overly simplistic.
Deluxe, all due respect, your analysis is limited by the practicality of counting and analyzing individual events.
However, I can guarantee, that the Flames internal analysis is not similarly limited. They are working with Rittich every day, and are far more in touch with the state of his game (mentally and physically) than we are.
So ultimately as fans, we are now left with a narrative being pushed by the media that there is a goalie controversy. When in fact, there isn't.
David Rittich is the better of the two goalies. It comes down to how the team manages him and gets him to be at his peak for the playoffs.
If I had to make a broad guess, I'm thinking that the Flames are right now doing everything they can to make sure Rittich does not implode like he did last year down the stretch. By managing his games, and allowing him to get the finer points ironed out, he will be back to form in time for the playoffs.

How can my analysis (honestly it's a stretch to call it even that) be simplistic when your reply is just three charts showing the whole season?
At least I had a before and after in my simple look!
I'm a Rittich fan, and I hope he finds it again, but even the charts you are showing now have taken a huge hit in the last two months. He was 2nd and 3rd forever in GSAA for example, now he's a negative in that category.
Smith makes me nervous as hell and I don't like the idea of chewing off my fingernails watching him in the playoffs.
But the two have trended towards each other in recent months, I honestly can't believe there is so much debate over something so simple to look up.
