Every year several goalies start well.
Bobrovsky, Andersen, Merzlikins, Sorokin, and even a guy who has been both over and underestimated, James Reimer, are all around .940, not to mention Jack Campbell’s .936
Then you’ve got guys like Vasilevskiy and Gibson you can count on, and Shesterkin
He was up around that .940 mark until the Flames destroyed the Rangers
Shesterkin is special. Other goalies and goalie coaches are taking note of the way he moves

It is a very exciting time for goaltending right now.
Markstrom has been delightful. He has done what has been asked but he has undeniably been the beneficiary of Darryl’s system and the Flames’ execution.
But the coronation here is early, presumptuous, and homerific . Lots of really good goalies out there right now. As I say, an exciting time
Definitely more worthwhile investment of time than trying to argue something based on a 10 game sample which is a career outlier (but also reasonably explainable)
