I like the quality and bad start metrics as a short hand way to judge play and am comforted that he is pretty stable in that department.

Some see the deference between .910 and .920 as a result of the Flames holding Vancouver to zero shots for half a period then when they finally gave up a shot, it is a giving a sniper like Boeser time and space, with a nice pass across the Royal Road.
It takes mental strength and focus to play behind a team that can suppress shots for long periods of time
