If you're gonna keep pointing to flawed stats, then:

NHL Ortio is 8-6-0 with a 2.52 GAA
NHL Irving was 3-4-4 with a 3.25 GAA

How is that remotely "the same"?

And yes the AHL is well ahead of NCAA. That's why Hellybuyck went from .952 and .941 save percentages in Gillies' conference to .921 in the AHL. It's why Doug Carr went from .928 and .936 save percentages to Ortio's backup's backup.

Lastly, did you watch the NCAA championship game? Gillies let in an absolutely amateur goal to start, and then failed to make a pretty crucial save. His team was down a goal late and looked like they were about to lose as the BU Terriers had gone into shutdown mode. The Friars were beyond lucky when the opposing goalie let in a weaksauce traumatic goal from beyond the blue line and then momentum shifted. Gillies only had to be good for about 7 or 8 minutes in th whole game to win it. Lastly the best apparent save Gillies made turned out to not have touched his stick in the first place as it actually deflected off the BU player's teammate's skate or something along those lines.
