I've been on the over reactors for the Smith / Rittich debate, but now the numbers are starting to suggest Rittich is the guy.

Code:

Player	#	Last 5	Last 10	Last 15	Last 20	QS%
Smith	42	0.908	0.911	0.916	0.907	50%
	Opp	0.489	0.522	0.537	0.539	
Rittich	45	0.928	0.908	0.898	0.899	64%
	Opp	0.515	0.567	0.547	0.560

Rittich much better in the last five games, and has closed the gap for the last ten games as well. All while playing more difficult teams.

Add in the fact that Smith has had back to back poor starts (by quality start definition) going into the playoffs and it has me somewhat concerned. The Oilers game was a nothing game, but he gave up three on 15 shots in San Jose as well.
