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.
Eye test vs advanced stats. Somewhere in between is the real answer.
