Patrick Roy in the regular season

[SnowblindNYR]

He's viewed as one of the best for his playoff heroics and we know he never reached the heights of Hasek in the regular season. Was he a dominating regular season goalie too or is he viewed as one of the best because of his playoff heroics? I started watching in 00-01 but never really followed his numbers at the time.

. Was he a dominating regular season goalie too

Yes, number wise relative to his peers one of the most ever

I tried to look at a rolling 5 season windows, which goaltender had the best GSAA in the league (that how much goals they saved the team if they had the league average save percentage instead the one they had that year, like all stat very far from perfect but it reward playing a lot with a good save percentage)

There was quite a bit of talk surrounding the value of looking at GSAA for goaltender, so I got curious and tried to see how noisy it was by looking the goaltenders that achieved to most GSAA for 5 seasons.

3 Vezina in 4 years.


The giant issue with the raw number, is that higher the scoring era, the more goals there is to save, so for how long they stay number 1 would be something that more universally impressive in league history.

And by how much they dominated the 4 other best goaltender of that window could be more interesting (something I wanted to do some adjusted GSAA using elite goaltender of the time but never ended up doing it is always noisy I feel like, there is not that many each season and they shift a lot). Just keep in mind some a little bit of a Parent-Dryden played in a more heteregenous league with high scoring but on team that did allow that much goals, lates 80s early 90s Roy also in a lesser but still there while Hasek did it in the dpe mental filter. A bit the same way you would look at 70s +/- number versus 1999 one.
