I find some inconsistency in your report.

You spend a lot of time praising Zary, then mention his xGF% is in the 30%.

You conclude that Vladar had a good game , but his expected goals against was about 3, so he was actually -3 on the night.

I think on goaltenders we tend not to blame them when a goal is scored on a high danger chance, especially a breakaway. But in reality, even a breakaway should be stopped about 70% of the time looking at shoot out goals.

Both goaltenders were very poor last night, I think the difference was simply the skill of the AV players.
