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.

Video review likely includes a balance of examples strong saves and examples of where the goalie could have improved, perhaps resulting in a goal. Much different than a curate selection of big saves.
Though sometimes that is used to boost a player's confidence
But if you are trying to use that sizzle reel to show that Gillies is a valid choice to be a back up NHLer, it is a slanted view.
Again, you could put together a nifty highlight reel of every NHL and AHL goalie. Tells you nothing.
And yeah I'm not much fun at a party. My wife would confirm that.
