I still go back to the shots taken by TB, classify that game as a statistical outlier
Roughly 85 percent of all shots are expected to be stopped. Roughly 5 percent of shots generally will go in, right? It’s that other 10 percent of shots that make or break a goalie. That’s actually not a lot of shots at all. And those are the ones that make a goalie brutal or great
Relying on statistics without a good way to differentiate between those particular shots.. well, they are just not measuring the right things to make it worthy of drawing conclusions, without meriting further discussion

OK can you quickly go through every shot in the league this year and give me a summary of your analysis of each goaltender so we can use your better than the current stats methodology to rank them all?
When can you get this to me?
And if you can't, I think we'll go with a objective measure to help us sort out goaltenders in the modern era, a number that is better than just straight save percentage.
