Funny thing about stats - Rittich went from .904 save% in Calgary immediately to .888 with the Leafs. And .886 the next year. Did he suddenly become a worse goalie in Toronto? Or did the team have something to do with it?
Yeah, in four games. And he went from a 2.90 GAA to a 2.72 GAA in those very important four games. Are you arguing that good teams have less of a need for good goaltending? I'd agree with that.
