So evaluate it in context and not something silly like "3 goals on 10 shots".

OK. Based on results the Flames are losing and there's been three goals on three perfect shots....out of ten. Better?
It's a results game...close ain't cutting it. Slop isn't either. And yes, goalies DO actually stop deflected shots. Sure it's partly luck, but also partly positioning. And I think Marky keeps losing his net a bit. Not sure that's such a simplistic thing. Don't like the floater goal on the first shot. You see that teams are now trying that. Methinks the video guys have picked up on something. Dunno what it is...but they wouldn't try it if they didn't know something.
