Fun fact: this is actually untrue.
Not only has the goaltending not been consistently poor or average, it’s actually been closer to the opposite.
Games where the SV% of the starter was:
Above .918 = 18
“Average” .917-.906 = 2
Below .905 = 12
.918+ represents the averages of the top 10 goaltenders in the league, while average represents goaltenders 11-20, and below represents 20 on.
So, the Flames have received above average goaltending more than below average. So it’s factually incorrect to say the Flames have received average to poor goaltending consistently.
The more you know!
