I think it is in part because of how close everything is. The difference between a good and bad season is not that big of a gap.
Based on a 1500 shot against season (the reasoning for that number is it works out to 30 shots against per game for 50 games), this means the difference between a .of .015 is 22.5 goals over their 50 game season.
That was the difference between Vasilevskiy and Mike Smith this past season.
