Chicago: 4 GA .692
Prior to that he shut out Anaheim

The issue is that neither goalie has grabbed the net.
Dude, did Talbot hurt you or something? Why would you pick such a tiny random sample that specifically ignores shutouts right before and after it?

This is nonsensical cherry picking at it's worst.

Cam Talbots SV% is 12th in the league, he's been more than fine.

Rittichs stats are also not at all bad in the right context, which is that he's got one of the highest numbers of games played.

There's only 10 goalies with 45 games or more in the league, and Rittich is middle of the pack in that group. He's got the same SV% than Marc-Andre Fleury, even though Rittich has faced almost 100 shots more in the same number of games.
