As opposed to the starter who isn't ready or on his game? Yes. (this feels a lot like the debate in the playoffs last year with Elliott, who never beats the Ducks, but he is the #1 so keep throwing him out there)

Also, the team needs to think about the future. Let's see how Rittich plays under pressure.

Honest question, any good Netflix suggestions? It’s going to be a long off season.

When he’s only faced 7 shots and has been terrible in every game he’s played except one since he’s returned, yes.

I think its a cumulative disappointment. Aside from the Oiler game he's been awful since returning.

Rittich, although he hasn’t played a lot of games, has been a ton better than the version of Hellybuyck last season for the Jets.

Look at him this season. Could happen for Rittich next season.

You never know about goalies.

1) Marvel shows are pretty solid.

2) ...binge watch The Office. Twice.

3) Breaking Bad, if you haven’t.

4) Better Call Saul after Breaking Bad.

5) ...binge watch The Office for a 3rd time.

6) Run through the X-Files

7) oh man, have you watched Sherlock yet?

8) Altered Carbon

9) The Last Man on Earth

10) watch The Office. For a 4th time.

Let's not blame the goalie, nor the coaches, heck, while we are at it, don't blame the players neither. It's the fan, they are too damn quiet!

Rittich was playing well enough in his one start per month to warrant more starts.

Those of us that said Smith was playing too much and would burn out were crucified for it. Now here we are.

I agree but I still expect them to look at a vet to have on hand in case. Parsons and one of Gillies or Rittich keep the net in Stockton
