Did those games against the Canes and Avs look like 3-2 games to you?
Because that’s what the fancy stats say they were, and that’s why some people are questioning the tending
Be honest
Are those what nice tight 3-2 games look like?
Or did they look very different in terms of skill and execution from both sides

I'm always honest, first off.
I agree to a point for sure on the last two games. They were not that close. But score effects changed the trend in both.
Both games had the other team run up the score and then call it a day letting the Flames take over for the final 15-25 minutes and even up the end results.
If a goalie is ranked 63rd out of 63 goalies in low danger save percentage he's probably not having a great season.
