Do you know what I get from his stats? That he struggled during his younger years and eventually(once he turned 25/26) settled down and has now produced 6 years of league average goaltending, during the regular season anyway. Isn't that pretty much standard for goalies, that they don't really show their true form until they hit 25?
Carey Price put up a .913% average in his first 5 seasons in the league. His career average is .919%. So by your logic, Price is only a slightly above average NHL goaltender?
Quick has a .908% career regular season sv%. Is he a below average league goaltender?

Price is actually 920.. which is very good over a long period of time. Especially on a lousy team like Montreal. Pittsburgh is a very talented team and has been talented for a while.
Quick has a 921 in the post season. Not a great comparison.
