It’s odd that the goalies play differently for these guys
One of whom is known for the egregious turnovers and lack of compete in atoning for his errors. To me.
And the xGA thing … let’s be clear that having a relatively high xGA is not a good thing - it’s part of the problem!

There will always be luck variability in a differential between actual and expected goals. It's talked about all the time.
A great player can out score his expected.
In this case I think weak defensive play can out score on the defensive side as well.
So I wouldn't say goalies play differently ... I'd say some players get the save some seasons, some don't. But how they play certainly contributes to that.
And not sure on your final point, never said anything but. I literally laid out that Kadri's high xGA is why his GA is so high.
