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. |
I'm actually a Talbot fan and was pushing for his signing in the off-season.
My comments were simply about this perception that he's been the better goalie of late.
