Not to disagree, but just a reminder that early season tends to see more blowouts and wide open games, which drive down goalie stats.
Unless a goalie has stupendously bad numbers (Smith) or you've seen him play and be genuinely bad (Smith again), or he was already bad to end last season (Smith), I wouldn't make conclusions on early season numbers alone.
