The way I listed the goalies actually over represented how many goalies are still playing well at 35, because it included all ages over 35.

Lets break it down this way instead.

Goalies playing 45+ games and maintaining .913 at 34:

1.Thomas
2.Vokoun
3.Brodeur
4.Nabokov
5.Luongo
6.Rinne
7.Anderson
8.Budaj
9.Mike Smith
10.Turco

Goalies playing 45+ games and maintaining .913 at 35:
1.Brodeur
2.Kiprusoff
3.Luongo
4.Theodore
5.Miller
6.Vokoun

Goalies playing 45+ games and maintaining .913 at 36:
1.Luongo
2.Thomas
3.Miller
4.Hedberg

Goalies playing 45+ games and maintaining .913 at 37:
1.Brodeur
2.Thomas

Goalies playing 45+ games and maintaining .913 at 38:
No one

Goalies playing 45+ games and maintaining .913 at 39:
1.Roloson, who did it again at 41


So out of all the 34+ aged goalies in the NHL from 05/06 to present only Roberto Luongo played 45+ games with an average save percentage of equal to or over .913% in each of his three seasons from 34-36.

One guy.

I don't know the ratio compared to goalies aged 28-30 who managed that feat, but I'm guessing its a lot more.

Maybe Mike Smith will be the exception. Stranger things have happened. I just wouldn't bet my job on him giving the Flames a lot of games, and league average or better netminding in each of the next two seasons.
Not sure why your quoting anything over 36 as the 2 seasons he will play for the flames he will be 35 and 36.
