We had to rely on Rittich/Gillies who both pooped the bed when the pressure was amped up. If that had continued on for another 11 or so games we'd likely be in an even worse spot in the standings.

For every playoff series where he'd look godly, there was another where he looked average (SCF against the CAPS) and terrible (number of times over the years). He's a good goalie but not 7 mil good. The cap creeps up every year it seems so I guess 7 mil is not as much as it used to be, but that's still a lot for a goalie.
