Thank you for extending that thought. heh
But in all seriousness a .905 save %, and that is steadily declining, and a GAA approaching 3, is not good.
Like I've said before, wouldn't surprise me if his stats were 3GA/GP and around ,900 by seasons end.
He's gong from people here saying he was great to not even being able to honestly state that he's good.
He's not even average. That's the reality.
What numbers are you looking at here?
If I go from nhl.com it lists his current Sv% at 0.908, which is good for around 21st place amongst starters.
For progression numbers I did them myself since that was quicker than trying to find them and defining range.
Start season - Klefbom injury [1-15]: Sv% xxx -> 0.927
Klefbom injury - Klefbom back [16-29]: Sv% 0.927 -> 0.908
Klefbom back - now [30-36] : Sv% 0.908 - 0.908
In the last period (7 GP) it's been very much up and down, highs of 0.939, 0.943 and 0.971 and lows of 0.750 and 0.826.
The trend I see is that when the D is in shambles the goalie struggles. I would expect his Sv% to go up a bit towards the end of the season actually, even though I think it may take a hit tonight. I guess we'll see how things go. The same argument obviously goes both ways and is valid for Talbot this season as well as last year.
