Part of being a starting goalie is stopping 91.5% or more of the shots that come at you. They make difficult saves. They’re paid to make difficult saves. They’re expected to make difficult saves.

That’s not fan logic, it’s just logic that some shots are harder to stop than others and it’s stupid to pull a goalie in a game where the blame for the goals is on the players.
Don’t shake the confidence of the starter when the backup isn’t going to do any better
