Goalies waiting long time between SOG?

Having never been a goalie how difficult is it going say 15 minutes and an intermission facing maybe 2 SOG in that time. So many times this year Bob has gone into the 3rd under 20 SOG and going huge gaps in time without shots that often he will give up a goal just because it's been so long without seeing something it just catches him a little off guard.

Is it more impressive to win when you don't get challenged at a consistent pace to keep in the mind set and prepared facing say 20 to 25 shots a game or more impressive to stop 35 a night at a good pace but more chances?

Is it more impressive that Bob leads the league in shut outs considering his defense stops the other team from gettng high volume of shots majority of their games at least through the 1st 2 periods of the game?
