I think you live or die with Rittich.

This is all based on what I pick up on TV, but I had a similar issue and have been thinking it about Rittich for a while.
He gets himself waaaaaayyyyy to amped up sometimes. If you’re a player that is going to be running around hitting guys, getting yourself fired up like a thoroughbred makes sense. It just doesn’t translate well to goalies. Leads to Rittich making “over saves” and not settling into position with a sharp focus on the task at hand.
