Positioning is a huge part of it. And I didn't like Rittich's positioning at all on goals #2 and #4. Goal #3 was a breakaway so you can never call it a bad goal, but he got burned pretty bad on that one too. Not like the shot was bar down or anything.
He just doesn't look like a guy who can carry this team through 4 grueling playoff rounds right now. Still time to get hot though.

You talking about last night? I have no argument. Didn’t think he was sharp.
This sidetrack was a response to when TC brought up blame sharing of goals vs TB. I said way back that I thought he played well that night, knowing I would hear objections, and be able to make an unpopular case.
If the team is through the doldrums part of the season, and can start scoring at will again, maybe even I could play net and do ok.
