The EP(PG)/gp doesn't seem fair as it seems to make the Flame goaltenders stop all the "stoppable" shots but doesn't do the same for the other team's goaltenders. Correct me if I'm misunderstanding.

The source is the Stoppable Goals Thread managed by poster Bleedred on the HFDevils forum, the link is inside the original post. Stoppable goals are definitely a spectrum but I think they even out over time. Is 21 games enough time? I don’t know.
You’re not wrong on the EP(PG)/gp being essentially arbitrary in saying that the Flames goalies are perfect. What I’m trying to use it to show is to compare Flames goalies year over year with the baseline of a perfect goalie to compare every year to. I’m not trying to say the Flames goalies have been objectively good or bad, just how they are relatively to their past selves.
