Hasek had a bad year. In the history of the NHL I bet you can't find more than a handful of goalies who never had a bad year. Roy and Brodeur are the only ones I can think of in my 32+ years of watching the NHL closely.
Goalies. They are not predictable creatures. And this year, ours stink.

Can't those bad years be a result of changing team defence?
Explain why Oiler goalies have universally better numbers on other teams. Do they only play bad in Edmonton?
