That is true and agreed, but that doesn't matter in terms of wins and losses and points in the standings.
If a team wins 5-4 or 4-3 or 3-1 a win is still a win and its 2 points in the standings.
How well the goalie in that win played in terms of saves or save % doesn't award more than the 2 points earned by winning the game by any score. (no bonus points for sv%).
The goalie in the net records the win or the loss based on the end result not his individual stats.
Murray has 19 starts recorded 11 wins and his cap hit is $4.687 mil.. Those are the only stats that factor and benefit or hurt the Leafs based on wins or cap usage % etc.
Wins are not goalie stats. They are team stats.
If a goalie is performing poorly and the team wins, the goalie is not providing value. The team is providing value to overcome the goalie's negative impact.
I’m not NHL.com, but even if you won your argument with the official league website, Murray being ranked 48th still isn’t very good.
I'm not arguing with the official league website. I'm correcting your incorrect claim about Murray's GP ranking that attempted to rank every goalie with the exact same GP above Murray.
It's already been shown to you how his impact ranks. Murray wasn't brought in to be a GP leader. Murray was brought in to be a tandem with Samsonov, provide insurance for a young goalie, positive goaltending impact to the team, veteran cup-winning experience, and potentially some of those clutch performances in critical playoff moments that we've been missing.
He's pretty on track for that so far, playoffs pending.
