That's an interesting chart as well. A breakaway is the about the most prime scoring chance a player can get. If you sort for about 20 shootout attempts against, look how many goalies are above 70% save pct (look at Enroth!)

So much of hockey strategy is geared towards creating odd-man opportunities and premium scoring opportunities. If goalies are stopping this many of the prime opportunities, how is there not something wrong? And how can one argue that 'this is hockey?'
