So if Mike Smith shouldn't be starting for an NHL team, what does that mean for David Rittich?

Outside of teams not named San Jose or Tampa Bay who are top goal scoring teams and make a lot of goalies look bad, his statistics are actually pretty good. A couple of bad outings against elite teams can make a big difference in a small sample size.
If Mike Smith had to play against Tampa twice this season, his numbers would look even more dreadful than they already are.
