It's the TJ Brodie effect all over again.
Give up nothing shift to shift but make two egregious mistakes that lead to 2 chances against.
Or give up something every shift but it's not a visible giveaway so hard to be directly attributed to you - but you were actually on the ice for 5-6 chances against.
Then in the end people will say the first player is bad defensively because they were noticeable mistakes, but ignore that the other 95% of the game they gave up nothing.
(Although Saturday was a game even he would want to have back where he was pretty bad - but that's an outlier).
