Matt, I'm sorry people booed you.
Also, going back from 2015-16 to now.
SV% numbers. Someone is 25th overall, another is 13th overall with a minimum of 40 games played, at least.
Weeeeeeeeeeeiiiirrrd.
NHL.com Stats
Using your lame logic DeSmith is the 12th best goalie since 2015-16 since he is one spot ahead of Jarry. DeSmith is an average NHL backup but using your lame argument to promote Jarry as somehow better than Murray this is what we get.
Bottom line is I posted that Murray has played like a top 5 NHL goalie for 3 of his seasons. Those can't be refuted. Using your same stats I put in 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons minimum 50 starts combined Murray finished tied for 1st with Price in save%. Add in playoffs for those two seasons and Murray was best in NHL. But I am sure you will try and say other goalies played more games yet you give your lame chart above. Then if you take all goalies stats for the 2018-19 season of any goalie with more than half it's teams starts Murray was top 5 save%. Add those 3 years all together with playoffs and Murray has been one of they best goalies in his 3 seasons besides the season he was dealing with his father's terminal illness and eventual death.
So bringing up Jarry's small sample size in the NHL and saying that somehow that proves he is better than Murray is laughable. He doesn't even have better stats than journeyman DeSmith over that time. So I give Murray a pass for his one season with a very good excuse and am not passing judgement on this season until I see the final season numbers.
Jarry had a good hot start 18 games this season and then has been outplayed by Murray since that point. Murray is 5-0 in his last 5 games with a .929 save%. Let's see how this ends up by seasons end. You better come with some better ammo than that weak post above.
