But I think this is also why you need to take into consideration the quality of shots against. Nyr can give up 25 shots in a game and 15-18 are high quality shots against whereas other teams may give up more shots but they are of lesser danger. This board has been killing nyr for years for how bad the team is defensively and yet that never seems to translate to shot danger when analyzing nyr goaltending. Also I think too many people dismiss the fatigue level that kicks in just from extended zone time against even if it's not full of shots against. Nyr gets caved in on zone time and they are like turnbuckles defensively.Which is also why you don’t pay Vezina winners like 1Cs. Every goalie is going to give up bad goals and there is no control over when. The difference between league average and Vezina is like 1.8% more saves per 100 shots.
