Who has time for that kind of analysis, especially with the fact that when it's done it's one person's opinion and nothing else, and said opinion may have a bias or two.

A performance can be statistically below average, while comprised of input data that doesn’t reflect the average.
I would quite specifically point to the Tampa game as a crystal clear demonstration of that.
I don’t care what goalie was in. For the love of god, please stop with the bias claims.
I sure as heck don’t want you to check with me, that would be silly and I enjoy reading your opinion as is. But on the days where the numbers don’t match the eye test, time and inclination permitting, I may decide to express my view.
Even the analytics guys acknowledge sv% is not good enough, shot quality exists, and that small samples of data can’t always be relied on as representative
