Goalies with high home plate save percentages are more consistent than goalies whose home plate save percentages aren't great even if their save percentage is.

I'm not talking about taking out data, im accounting for it when any shot on net has a chance of going in. If the goalie stops the shots he should, the team improves. If the goalie lets in shots he should save (Flames) the team suffers.
I still don't get why this is some sort of revelation. The playing field is already level once the opponent gains the zone.
