This is a little statistic I calculate each season - it's basically a linear transformation of save percentage (so if you don't like save percentage, you won't like this either, and I'm not going to argue with you about it here).
http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=253883 and http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=381137 link to the past two years of this statistic; the first link also explains a bit more about what the hell I'm doing. One big change in the calculations this year - when taking the league average save percentage, I now remove the individual goaltender's contribution.
The statistics presented:
GD (Goal Differential) - how many goals better (or worse) a netminder is than a league-average NHL goaltender facing the same number of shots.
GARG (Goals Above Replacement Goaltender) - how many goals better (or worse) a netminder is than a replacement-level NHL goaltender facing the same number of shots. I define "replacement level" to be a save percentage 0.015 below league average (this is a bit of a SWAG). Replacement level goaltenders are plentiful and easily available.
SNW/SNL (Support-Neutral Wins and Losses) - if the goaltender had received "average" goal support, how many wins and losses would he have.
I sort this table by GARG, because there's a definite value in playing at a "league average" level for a decent period of time.
Enjoy! Some interesting results here.
