“ I don't know why Ritchie was in the shootout. If the team had practiced it then it would be easy to explain, but here I have no idea. That's one of those desicions that if it works out great, but if it doesn't it makes you look really bad.”
The reason given was Ritchie’s shoot-out record. But the problem with that is sample size. If Ritchie got lucky in, say, 2 of his 4 attempts (that’s a made up number) a 59% average looks good on paper. But that’s pretty random. It doesn’t turn him into a go to guy.
