Goaltending is as much about confidence as it is about the team in front of them.
Going to a guy who just had a shutout 3 days prior would make sense in that he should really be feeling good about his game and either that carries on or you then go back to the guy who hasnt been as good.
Rittich has been nothing short of craptacular, particularly at home, of late.
Silliness to go away from the hot hand at this time of year in a playoff race as tight as this one is.
Its been almost 3 freaking months since BSD has won a game on home ice and much to the chagrin of some, its not entirely on the guys in front of him...my guess is he will be clutching the stick a little tighter if he goes tomorrow than Talbot would have been.
