Those kind of goals are percentage killers no matter who's in net and I'm sure if someone went over all the goals we`ve given up this year, yes you would find some goals you`d like the goalie to have back but I`m not sure you`d find enough that you could project a .918 save percentage for a so-called average starter. The fact that this team is second in blocked shots is a big red flag because it`s blocks that often lead to ugly bounces, and further serve to prevent goalies from padding their save percentage with easy saves.

Good goalies stop those shots they shouldn't make, that's the difference. A good goalie bails his team out when they make mistakes.
