Oh man, you didn't even see the version where I went back and added a slew of other rants.

45 goals stoppable, says he's allowed 139.
So 32.37%?
Just skimming over my list a minute ago, it would appear that's fifth most in the league, which doesn't necessarily mean much, considering Hellebuyck is right in front of him with 46 and Hellebuyck has a significantly lower (which means better in this case) percentage of goals I've counted stoppable than my league average. Hellebuyck's high count is a symptom of playing the most games, facing the most shots, allowing the most goals. Hellebuyck is also above the league average save percentage by a few points as well, for what it's worth.
So I got Merzlikins with the most at 51 (he snuck in and had a bender in the last few games to usurp Grubauer AND he's played almost every single game for the Blue Jackets since Korpisalo got shut down for the rest of the year), Grubauer is second with 50. Actually Hellebuyck and Nedeljkovic are tied for third with 46 each.
Then it's Vejmelka with 45 and Hart behind him with 43. I think Fleury is at 42 (I put the list down a minute ago) and Koskinen also with 42. Might be a couple other guys that have hit 40. Koskinen was the closest to Grubauer for a long time, but between maybe counting a little less on him lately, combined with the fact that it's mostly been Smith playing, Koskinen has managed to keep his distance from Grubauer.
Not every BAD goalie in save percentage ranks poorly on my stats. Lankinen has a surprisingly low count on my list, as does John Gibson all of these last 3 years where he's been bad lol.
For what it's worth, Vejmelka has a lower (better) percentage than EVERY. SINGLE. GOALIE. that's played for the Devils this year, not named Bernier.
Well.... Check that. Schmid has a very slightly lower percentage of goals I counted stoppable than Vejmelka.

Embarrassed to say there was like a four month period where I watched this show on TNT all the time and had a huge crush on Catherine Bell.

Karel Vejmelka, G, Arizona Coyotes: Vejmalka has been a bright spot for the Coyotes (22-45-5), who are last in the NHL and eliminated from Stanley Cup Playoff contention. The 25-year-old goalie, born in Trebic, Czech Republic, ranks second among NHL rookie goalies in games played (44 games), shots against (1,436) and saves (1,297), all behind Alex Nedeljkovic of the Detroit Red Wings, and is fourth in save percentage (.903) and even-strength save percentage (.915) among rookies with a minimum 25 games.
Vejmelka (6-3, 224) was selected by the Predators in the fifth round (No. 145) of the 2015 NHL Draft, signed a one-year contract with the Coyotes on May 5, 2021 and a three-year contract March 21 to avoid restricted free agency. He made 37 saves in a 2-1 loss at the Carolina Hurricanes on Oct. 31, the highest save total for a Coyotes rookie since Adin Hill made 41 in a 3-2 overtime loss at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Feb. 11, 2020.

There are only 5 rookie goalies who have played the minimum 25 games.
Nedeljkovic is 5th in SV% out of that list.
Swayman, Kahkonen and Knight are the top 3, in that order.
I don’t remember there being a lot of rookie goalies playing a ton so when it said he was 4th, I was curious how many more than 4 there were. (One.)
If you lower it to 20 games the list is 6 goalies. Daws, who is 6th in SV%, with .893.
The order in GAA is Swayman (2.28), Knight (2.83), Kahkonen (3.06), Daws (3.16), Ned (3.34) & Vejmelka (3.47).

People like Morreale's coverage of the Devils, but it's hard to read those non-advanced standard stats as if they are a good thing and not laugh.
He played a lot of games and made a lot of saves in losses.

No. It is short for Jaguar . So, he is a Jaguar = fast and agile so he’s sayig that Vejmelka is a good goalie. Ok, I got it now.

This is Zacha's time of the year too, I wouldn't rule out him getting back to back hat tricks to finish with 20+ goals

Maybe Fitz doesn’t like him that much but I don’t think the players dislike him.

Yeah. I think that if Blackwood was playing well (and wasn't hurt), this sort of speculation wouldn't even be talked about.

I like the plate on the dashboard. That’s a high end customization. Beautiful car. Drive it like you stole it.

I think you and I are actually about the same age, give or take a year. I remember your post several weeks back about playing midget with Chris Mason and Paxton Schafer. Both of whom are actually the same age as I am. They're both actually just a little bit younger. Mason by a little less than three months, Schafer by just a little less than one month.
I remember both of these terms as a young(er) man in the 00's or possibly even the late 90's? JAG might be universally known in the last several years, but some buddies and I were using it then. It's an acronym meaning Just A Guy. Although if you want, you can pretend it means Just A Goalie haha.
Jock is a term I do not see or hear at all in modern times. That's a term that I figure if I said that to a kid or someone in their 20's they'd be like ''Jock? In verbal form? What does that mean? To wrap around one's genitals?''.
Now this was a term I picked up on from buddies that were just a little younger than me, like very early millennials. One of them is @Cage Helmet who I don't think has posted in a minute or two. It was him and his best buddy. Jock in this instance is used as another word to mean to hype something. Sweat was another term we used back in the day, but that could also mean that someone is ''Scared'' or ''Worried''.
I don't think too many teams ''Sweat'' Vejmelka.
I don't think I've heard anyone outside those few close buddies of mine use jock as a verb in probably 12-15 years. Whereas JAG is something I still see or hear out there from time to time.
A Jaguar? I’m either very impressed with your mechanical ability or your income

Yes, he turned downed ELCs because he’s most likely going back to school. The team can pay for first couple of days for first time players (there are more rules than that obviously), then the player has to pay out of pocket.
The hope is to create a relationship with him when he comes to our development camp. He could potentially sign, he is 21, but he likely isn’t leaving college after one year after going to all the trouble to attend as a European player.

Players can also attend more than one NHL team's development camp since they don't all take place at the same time.
Extended warranty. People think I’m rich haha but I found this 6 years old in mint condition with only 7,000 miles on it. Once in a lifetime find.A Jaguar? I’m either very impressed with your mechanical ability or your income
