Exactly. He has been extremely fortunate that the team is one of the highest scoring teams in the league. He picked up W’s against:
Vancouver saving 16/20
Colorado saving 16/21
Columbus saving 13/16
Philly saving 10/14
Now throw in the games like Montreal where his late 3rd period abysmal goal against cost the team at least 1 point. Or St. Louis loss where he saved 19/24, or his absolute softie against Anaheim.
Guy is a quality human being, great teammate but is done as an NHL goaltender.
