1. You weren't told what a "useless stat" save percentage was.
2. You did not post Reimer's career save %
What you posted was, in fact, in reference to Bernier, and referenced two seasons, not a career:

Now, your statement was correct on its face. However, what you failed to mention was that Bernier only played 14 games in that season with the Kings, and you failed to address the original point that the Maple Leafs were only in playoff contention last year because of an early season streak of "lucky goaltending".
FWIW, I would have used the word "unsustainable" rather than lucky. Bernier posted a pre-Olympic average of .927 (over .930 over the first three months), but fell to .904 in the late season.
Reimer, meanwhile, was a ridiculous .949 in October (six games), then fell off a cliff. He was pretty much a liability between November and March, but ended with an extremely strong April - after the Leafs were already cooked.
