So correlated, like I said.
And over a full season, the volatility would get averaged out. In a playoff series, a goalie's stats are largely defined by how well the team performs. Because in a playoff series, a team can dominate, or get rolled. But in the regular season, a team is going to play well for 20, play terrible for 20, and have the rest of the games be pretty even.
