2011 Caps vs Rags= Neuvirth .946 to Hanks .917
Rangers got their teeth kicked in. He's the only reason it wasn't a sweep.
2012 Devils vs Rags= Brodeur .927% and above .900 in 5/6 games. Hank .917% and over .900 in 2/6 games.

2013 Bruin vs Rags= Rask .936% and Hank with .918
He could have been better in game 2, but the Rangers were heavily outplayed and weren't winning this series with any goaltender
2014 Kings vs Rags= Quick .932 and Hank with .923 (holy crap, he actually posted a save % above .920 for once)
He was actually probably worse this series than the last three you posted, which goes to show you the value of stats over 5 game samples. Still, he wasn't bad. Pretty much won game 4 by himself.
2015 Tampa vs Rags= both Bishop and Hank post awful .902%
He had two really bad games in this series. He had 5 excellent games and the Rangers got shut out in two of their losses.
2016 Pens vs Rags= Rookie Matt Murray posts .955 to Hanks incredible .867 (Pay me 8.5MM and I'll post a better save percentage than that).
Worst series of his career, absolutely.
and in 2017 Hank posts .905 vs a mediocre Senators team.
Yes he was poor, but you're failing to mention that the only reason the Rangers were in this round is because he beat Montreal by himself in round 1.
This entire post is unfair. You're not bringing up series he won, his record in elimination games, or his record in game 7's. Every series here is a Rangers loss. Goalies very rarely post good stats in games they're losing over small samples.
I'm not one of those Rangers fans who thinks he's been on an AHL team his whole career or that he'd have 8 cups on another team, but he's definitely not the reason they haven't won. And there's a few series where he's they reason they did win. Yes, he's overpaid. He's really not overrated.
