The Flames had a fairly good first, and against a less dominant team they likely come out all right. Line change goal hurt them, and the third goal was pretty unlucky. So yeah average and it's my opinion ... pretty clear actually as my name is at the top of it ... so save me the spreadsheet BS it's a pretty disrespectful response.
I am a fan of analytics to help tell a story, but when it comes to goaltending if you are going to use numbers to suggest how a goaltender played without evaluating the quality of the chances than you are out to lunch. I agree with the moustache that one of the six goals was a possible chance to stop, the rest were goals that only get stopped if the player misses, nothing the goaltender can do about them.
