So there is some luck in it.

A goalie lets in a weak goal would reduce the players PDO when he may have had nothing to do with the play in question.

The coach thing was an example of large sample size and style of play

As for pairings, I absolutely do not think it is a coincidence by any means that the goalies’ aggregate save percentage under Tanev and Hanifin is much higher than under the other pairs.

Weak goals would be noise that fit in to the luck bucket and get less noticeable as sample sizes increase.
