Save % is definitely correlated with how the team plays in front of the goalie. It's easier to save bad shots from the boards than a cross crease tap-in. That's why advanced stats in hockey focus so much on shot quality, especially for goalie stats. All traditional goalie stats (W, GAA, save %) are measures of team quality, not the individual goalie.
