And they put far too much emphasis on save percentage when judging whether a goalie is had or is having a good game. Many times it's misleading. Just as an example allowing 2 goals on 15 shots isn't that bad but it's .866 which is unacceptable to some.

It's not like the first 10-15 shots a goalie faces are always super easy. Sometimes the hardest shots you face end up being in that range and the ones after that aren't as difficult.
