Look at the other 3 and he has little to no chance unless the players in front of him cover for him much better than they were (goes back to my previous post about great d and a poor goalie or a great goalie and poor d can often offset each other.

This isn't true at all. The Jagr shot was very stoppable. Jagr didn't have much to shoot at and didn't get much on it. It slid along the ice and went in. NHL goalies should almost never allow a goal along the ice.
Ramo also has terrible positioning on the third goal. Watch him way over compensate towards the shooter. He completely gives up on any play that involves the puck going across the ice. A good goalie would be further back in the net, and able to move across the ice to still make the save, or at least be able to make an attempt at a save.
The second goal isn't great either. Again, he is too far out, so any pass or deflection that moves the puck to the other side of the net and he has no chance. I don't think he's tracking the puck well at all. It looks like he sees a shot from the point and just kind of flops and hopes it hits him. When it hits the traffic in front, he's not even close to being able to make the save.
None of these would be that bad in isolation, but every game it's 4 goals or more against. Every shot from the point, or from the outside, can't be a scoring chance, but it sure feels like it.
Johnny has had a great game that led to a win, so have Gio and Brodie. Real NHL goalies also have great games, where they are the first star, and the team gets a win.
Look at the graphic above in this thread. The Flames give up almost exactly the same shots from the same areas as the Rangers. The Rangers have the best GAA and the Flames the worst.
