I would be interested in seeing a similar comparison of high scoring chance/save percentage for Dubnyk on the oilers two years ago and Dubnyk on the wild last year. (Or Scrivens in years prior) That would help frame the discussion, as the OP has done. Because Edmonton is no good, I would expect that the percentage would be roughly the same, but the number of chances against are much higher playing for Edmo.

I was a bit skeptical of blaming the goaltending, but those stats do make it hard to argue with.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
