I have been noticing it for a while, decided to document it this game, to help the dismissive people like Bingo
I'm slightly confused as you say these models are useless to rate our goalies, and then use them to defend our goalies being mid pack, which they are not by those stats.

Of the 45 goalies who have played 20 or more games Markstrom's XGA/60 is 11th and Vladar's is 8th. That's not mid pack.That's better than top third.

Goaltending has been the Flames single biggest problem this year, but I agree it's not the only problem.
