If a goalie is ranked 63rd out of 63 goalies in low danger save percentage he's probably not having a great season.

I agree, no way he is pleased with his season. Nor would anyone call it great
But there are a few nights in there that are statistically quite bad where he wasn’t actually bad (imo) by the eye test.
You don’t see these goalies in Boston having 6-8 cross seam one timers to deal with. And look at our old pal David Rittich. Is he now a genius at goaltending? Was he really an awful goaltender for a few years?
Team defence is really a huge factor in this. Specifically breakdowns
The Flames goalies were both in a hole at the beginning of the year when they laid an egg the first 10 games, still figuring out the system. Marky’s been great for a while and has had the quantity of games to right the ship, plus played lights out. I’ve found the team to be up and down with Vladar, and simply very bad with Wolf
