Interestingly enough, he breaks a record set by Antti Niemi.

Nice stuff. Congrats. Have to say,I'm surprised that it was Niemi he beat for the record.

Edit. Oh,It's since the lockout.

 

[Fatty McLardy]

He was awesome today..

Lockout also skews stuff as it has forced results. I wonder what Dryden's first 100 games look like, he probably still has the record, even with ties.

It’s easier to get wins nowadays. Plus he plays on a stacked team.

It says since the lockout

It says since the lockout

Makes it even less impressing.

 

[Beville]

It says since the lockout

Still easier to get wins, and he still plays on a stacked team

 

[Its a Trap]

So...uh, congrats on being the best in the last 11 years? That’s not exactly an impressive list of names there either, honestly.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Yeah, since the lockout is a real f***ing kicker here. For a second I was amazed I had no idea that Niemi had formerly held the record.

Pretty insane when you consider that's only a 62% winning percentage, which is pretty low.

How is it easier to get wins?

And I'm not saying this is super-impressive

Osgood 2.0

It's easier in a sense that there are no ties anymore. So OT/SO wins skew the stats. But parity is much higher these days so it evens out a bit.

Went on eliteprospects to check out Schneider and Rask but they didn’t even show stats for wins. Is that a new thing or is it because I’m on my phone....

 

[Alexei Yashvalev]

That's a team stat, doesn't say much about the goalie.

 

[El Travo]

Congrats Murray. Hell of a first couple years in the NHL for him.

I'm not getting wins either from EP. But hockey-reference lists wins. Overall it's eons better than EliteProspects. I recommend you try HR.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Brock Boeser thinks Murray lucked into this.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Playing on the back to back Stanley Cup winner. Chris Osgood indeed.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Yes, wins are a team stat, but it's not as if the goaltender has nothing to do with a victory. How many high-powered offensive teams have we seen that can't string together wins because their goaltender is just average?

 

[Nickmo82]

Rarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr shootout wins rarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

[Binary Code]

Such an HoF list there, he's in great company

 

[BigEezyE22]

That's a team stat, doesn't say much about the goalie.

I know, cause the goalie isn't a mayor part of the team or anything.

 

[elitepete]

Imagine how much faster he would’ve gotten it if Boeser didn’t terrorize him.
