It includes a healthy dose of E=NG as well.
Edit:
I have previously mentioned at a certain point in time that the sample size du jour that people were relying on (basically cherry picked to start when Smith started playing better in December) was about 600 shots.
A game like the 6 goal Tampa output, on a size of 600 shots, is basically .010 contribution in save percentage.
That game itself is enough to make the difference between an acceptable and an unacceptable goalie. |
What a great article, really puts things into context.
