Thank you Elon!
these are the numbers that goalies used to consistently have in the 1980's and early 90's...and which is what it truly should be, only elite goalies should actually have elite numbers, but for the past 15 plus years, goalies have benefited from stellar defensive system play in front of them while their equipment morphed in size as well as their own average size did too..
the players are finally catching up and this is what we should be seeing from now on. your Devyn Dubnyk's of the world shouldn't be posting shutouts left and right in this league..your top 8-10 goalies will still be elite goalies (they are the ones that have been arguing for the equipment to get tighter/smaller because so many goalies have inflated numbers which hurts their skill/pay).
I hope this continues and the cream rises to the top and the rest just show how much they have benefited over the years by looking like Sherman tanks behind Berlin Wall defenses...
