It's really not. Especially on such a tight defensive team. Some other NCAA goalies i've heard of.
Zane McIntyre (Bos 6th 2010), the last 3 years are 0.92, 0.926, 0.929
CJ Motte (Undrafted), the last 4 years, 0.92, 0.928, 0.927, 0.925
Alex Lyon (Undrafted), the last 3 years, 0.939, 0.918
Evan Cowley (Flo 2013 4th), last 2 years 0.924, 0.949
Matt O'Connor (Undrafted), last 3 years 0.927, 0.920, 0.910
Thatcher Demko (Van 2nd 2014), 0.925, 0.919
Buncha guys have some great numbers. Some rookies who posted numbers in 0.930s as well.
I like Gillies and hope he turns out great. But NCAA numbers aren't a great indication to go off of. Bishop in his 3 years was 0.908/0.923/0.920. Quick in his 2 years was 0.929/0.920. I'm sure there are several names like above who posted really great numbers and found no success in the pro game.
He's looked shaky at the WJC and the NCAA tourny. I hope he challenged Oreo to be better but right now Oreo is easily ahead.
