Yes, that's an acceptable way to look at it. But then you have to also consider overtime wins as ties, not wins (for the same reason). And if you don't do that, then you reach the inevitable conclusion that every goaltender these days is above average.

Right. You just take into account that like in the standings 90 points isn't what it used to be for a team either. 90 points probably gets you on the outside of the playoffs. So a goalie who is 30-25-7 is average more or less.

As others mentioned, none are Hall worthy. However, if I absolutely had to enshrine one of them, I would choose Kolzig.

The points system today is yet another reason to hate Bettman-era policies. It used to be so simple: add wins, losses, and ties = games played.

Now you need a Ph.D in math to figure out how many games teams have actually won and lost, etc.

The idea of allowing the competing teams to generate an extra "point" so that the value of a given contest is variable, is so insane a violation of zero-sum gamesmanship that I couldn't believe a major league would even consider it. A statistical sin as well: Hey, look, just about every team is above average now!

Curious as to who voted for Sean Burke? Made a grand entrance with the underdog Devils in 1988. And had a nice late-career stint with Phoenix. Everything in between was...rather un-HOF caliber.
