As said before, at least Ritchie didn't bobble the puck or shoot in the crest like a couple others did who are supposedly more skilled forwards.

The bolded part makes sense, which is why it should have been Toffoli or Lindholm.
Ride or die by your top players; it's the biggest moment of your season.
I don't think most people are saying Ritchie is to blame, he actually gave a good effort. We're just saying it shouldn't have been him, it's on Sutter.
