I went and pulled the save percentage for the 3 types of "shots" for Carolina last year, and then compared them to where they rank in the rest of the league for goalies who played over 1000 minutes.

It wasn't pretty in Carolina.

Ward

-HDSV%: .783 (41/58)
-MDSV%: .895 (54/58)
-LDSV%: .973(34/58)

Darling

-HDSV%: .748 (56/58)
-MDSV%: .902 (49/58)
-LDSV%: .964 (54/58)

Pretty much bottom 10 or so across the board. That Scott Darling gamble really did not pay off for them. They were also bottom 10 in what their actual save percentage was vs. their actual save percentage.

Here was Mike Smith in comparison last year:

-HDSV%: .800 (24/58)
-MDSV%: .936 (3/58)
-LDSV%: .963 (55/58)

So great at stopping the stuff in close...but did let in an abnormal amount of "soft" goals at times. (Seems to match the eye test too. Feel like an abnormal amount of "seeing eye" shots from the point went in, especially on home ice.)
