One of the stats that the NHL have that I don’t think we do, that help paint a much more useful picture as to the quality of the goalie, over and above save percentage is… where the shots are taken from and conceded and the likelihood of saving them. Paints a picture of defensive frailties but also goalie weaknesses,
Save percentage is a one of what has to be a multitude of stats to assess a goalies performance. Personally, what Bown’s has had in front of him, how poorly we exit zones, take the body when it’s available, lose battles behind the goal and our focus on offensive defense and not stay at home D, our high risk plays…. It’s a miracle Bowns has the stats he does.
