Fair enough I think I should have added a note he was 22nd and 26th
out of 72 goalies for better context.
But let's say, goalies with at least 9 GP, that's 30 goalies so about 1 goalie per team. I think that's fair?
Smith is 11th in SV% and 13th in GAA. That's good, and I think those numbers are a bit lower than they could be because let's face it we've had some pretty iffy defense at times.
(You can bring that GP-limit up to 12 if you like and Smith doesn't move up a single spot, it just cuts down some guys from under him.)
However I can't agree with the narrative that we've somehow been carried by our goaltending. Smith is good, he's the upgrade we asked for and didn't cost us that much so it's a good move by Treliving. (Thus far obviously.)
No more, no less.
