It isn’t just about a raw number of games being perfect. It also also about the year over year increase
I’m surprised this is much of a debate

Right, there could be a case to be made there. But Kipper jumped from 38 to 74 without issue.
It surprises me how it is blindly and generally accepted that games need to be managed, when there are a lot of workhorse goalies, the data for them says they don’t falter under heavy workload, and some of them say they can, and want to handle it. A lot of their teammates play 82 and are fine.
Totally agree that for risk mitigation, you need two goalies. And the second goalie needs playing time to be NHL ready.
It’s just the passion with which people argue the other side
