So many times people refer to sv% for a single game. My ask is to please stop the reference to single game sv% as meaningful.

I will supplement with a game where Kipper let in two goals on 18 shots where both were bad pinches by the D that led to unstoppable 2 on 1s

Save percentage over the course of seasons can be looked at as more meaningful (that is, more statistically significant) but in a single game is much less so.

This is one stat that when people quote on a single game basis disappoints me because it really is frankly not significant

That is all
Does anyone do this? I mean people say a goalie sucks after a given game, but I don't think a single game save percentage has much to do with it.

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.
