Again a very imperfect stat.
On the other hand you could knock the GAA down knowing that the goalie hasn't played X full games.

I don't really see how EN goals would potentially indicate a goalie cracks under pressure. Can you elaborate?
Without looking at this stat, I would just assume it indicates which goalies are on good/bad teams (unless your an advanced stat anomaly such as Calgary). Bad teams will be behind more often and therefore have to pull their goalie more often. I guess you could argue a good goalie would keep more games close to warrant getting pulled with 2 minutes left.
