I like the wins as much as anyone else but if Rittich starts the 5 games instead of Markstrom they probably lose 4 of 5. They aren't playing sustainable winning hockey. To me Ward has this team playing not to lose and you can get away with that for a while as long as your goaltender is bailing out the team but it's not a recipe for long term success. There is no excuse for letting the Canucks tie up the game while killing a penalty but that's the kind of stuff that happens when you play not to lose. This team can't afford to start Rittich the way they are playing right now.
