Highlight reels are a terrible way to assess someone.
Someone asked the question earlier (perhaps even you) - do folks that watch the Heat more regularly have a view on whether his stats are bad because he's giving up bad goals or just bad D? Or is there somewhere where advanced goalie stats are available (e.g. low danger, medium danger, high danger SVP). I can't find them. Perhaps not tracked at the AHL?

Trying to add some positivity to the thread. You must be a hoot at parties. :-)
I’ll tell you what. His stats in the A are no damn good because the team is a tire fire defensively and they can’t be decoupled. The right data is not collected to allow this to be done in a truly meaningful way. That is a fact.
By the way, you know what the staff generate for coaches to review a player’s work? A curated selection of video clips.
Enjoy the highlights.
They compare favourably to that montage of several garbage shots going through Smith.
