It’s funny though - people are complaining about him being too deep and also overplaying angles. That doesn’t typically happen and I don’t really see it.

You might not see it, but that doesn't make it not true.
He is playing very deep in his crease this year. And yes, he is deeper than many goalies - most attack the shooter and move a couple ft out of the crease to challenge the shooter, when it is clearly a shot. He is not doing that as much this year. And yes, on side to side plays, he is over-playing them at times, taking himself out of the paly.
The differences are small, but those differences are what causes .895 vs .910
