Bottom line to me is steals vs games he lost for them.
He stole win in Pittsburgh, and while I don't think he lost his team a game per say, he was outplayed by his counterpart in some other games for sure.
That's why I like goals saved above average, it's the best metric publicly available to date. Last year he was negative, this year he's ranked 7th at +6.5

I think he's a good goaltender but he's always struggled with consistency. He's not alone as it's one of those positions that can vary from year to year as there's a big mental aspect to the position. I have no issues writing off last season as an aberration but not after only 11 games.
