One doesn't need to frame things when they are actually 20% higher.
xGA last year / xGA this year is 1.2 or 20%.
Trying to ignore that is framing something.
Expected goals are 20% higher.
High danger chances against per 60 are 18.5% higher.
Those are facts.
That's 2.5-3 goals in a ten game segment for a goaltender.
