there were plenty of games where I wondered if the same team was playing in front of him. Doughty of all people passing it up the middle to no one, its picked off and in our net. Then everyone scream BAD GOAL by Quick!
It seemed like that, absolutely, but that's not what the numbers say.
At 5v5, Quick and Copley have about the same HD chance save %. Quick has faced more high danger chances, but he's played a few more games and it's not a huge difference. Overall their expected goals against is almost identical, Quick's is a little lower.
The big difference is that Copley's goals saved above average is 6.13, while Quick's is -7.02. High danger chances above average are similar. That's why Copley's GAA is .65 better than Quick behind the same defense that according to the numbers, plays almost the same exact way.
I thought the same, it ALWAYS looked like they were hanging Quick out to dry more. In reality, it was probably my way of justifying his drop off and explaining a level of play I've never experienced with Quick before.
