I see that people still haven't caught on to the issue that many of the shots that were "unstoppable" for Kiprusoff were only "unstoppable" due to Kiprusoff's positioning, which Kiprusoff is responsible for and thus rightly contribute to his save percentage.
You're effectively arguing that because a stat has flaws it has no value. For the most part, a goalie with a higher single-game SV% has played better than one with a lower SV%. It's one of the biggest determinants of the outcome of the game, so it actually remains quite important despite not accounting for shot quality.
