Bringing up Dell is my point though, as he is a backup netminder, so it changing or not when he is in or out, likely isn't going to be better, seeing as Jones is the starter. I don't need to watch the games to know, that .896 is bad, and would be improved on by many of the netminders on other teams. Also, not saying Howard is the answer, but he is better than Jones, and Howard plays in front of a much MUCH worse blueline than you have in San Jose. Look at Bernier, he has been largely brutal for us this year, and has around .895 or something maybe a little lower even, while Howard, is .915 or so, with our train wreck of a blueline and poor offense. How well he has played this year, if he was with San Jose, you guys are likely fighting TB for top spot right now. .895 was good back in the 90s, not nowadays, and I speak from experience. Mrazek was putting up .895 when we traded him and it very much showed how poor he was playing. In today's NHL, poor performance goalies post something like .905-.910 on a bad team, and on a good team, they put up at least .915 if they aren't playing great.
It is also fine if you like Jones, I am simply saying he can't be playing all that well, with that stat line.
