I have compiled an error rate vs. expectation report for every individual playoff run from a goaltender who played in 3 or 4 rounds in the post-1967 expansion NHL. Error rate vs. expectation measures a goaltender's error rate in a playoff round (GA/SA) against an opponent's regular season shooting percentage to determine how much a goaltender allows relative to what the opponent would be expected to score. Rounds are then weighted based upon shots allowed for a cumulative statistic (EvE) that reads as a percentage, with 100% being what a league average goaltender would be expected to allow.

The ultimate goal is to present a rough ranking for separate categories:

Three-Round Goaltenders
This category is primarily Finalists from 1968-1979, as well as Conference Finalists from 1980-2017. These goaltenders played no other playoff hockey, and their generally smaller sample size may allow for greater fluctuation of their error rate vs. expectation, either positively or negatively. Not represented in this report are goaltenders from the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers, the 1981 Calgary Flames, or the 1987 Montreal Canadiens, as the primary goaltenders on these Conference Finalists did not play in 3 playoff rounds. Included, however, are goaltenders who played in the 1975-1979 preliminary round while making it to the Semifinals.

Four-Round Goaltenders
This category is primarily Finalists from 1980-2017. These goaltenders played in every round, and their generally greater sample size may result in less extremes in their error rate vs. expectation, either positively or negatively. Also included in this category is John Davidson from the 1979 New York Rangers, the only goaltender to play in the 1975-1979 preliminary round and make it to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Rounds 1-3 from Four-Round Goaltenders
This category takes the entire list of Four-Round Goaltenders and isolates the first 3 rounds, removing performance in the Stanley Cup Finals. This presents a comparable sample size to the Three-Round Goaltenders, and because error rate vs. expectation is a measurement that can either increase or decrease with additional play, gives an opportunity for evaluating performance up to an equivlent point without requiring an additional round of statistical maintenance. More than that, for 1983-2017 goaltenders, this captures their performance in the Conference playoffs, which may hold value to some. Also included is Marc-Andre Fleury from the 2017 Pittsburgh Penguins, who did not play in the fourth round.

Rounds 2-4 from Four-Round Goaltenders
This category takes the entire list of Four-Round Goaltenders and isolates the final 3 rounds, removing performance in the Conference Quarterfinals. This presents a comparable sample size to the Three-Round Goaltenders, while emphasizing the error rate vs. expectation for what are arguably the more important rounds. Again, this is presented as a comparable sample size to the Three-Round Goaltenders. Also included is Michael Leighton from the 2010 Philadelphia Flyers, who did not play in the first round.

Limitations include the typical caveats for Save Percentage statistics, including shot counting, variance in shot difficulty, and anchor games (in which a goaltender's statistics in a series are weighed down by 1-2 bad games more than they are bolstered by 4-5 great games). Also the regular season shooting percentage used for the expectation number does not have ENG scoring removed, which would unfortunately require reading 70-82 box scores for every opponent of every goaltender. Not an impossible task, but one that would require the sacrifice hundreds of hours of research and probably my marriage.

Statistics this time were compiled entirely from Hockey-Reference, and there were slight differences in some rounds compared to previous presentations of the error rate vs. expectation statistic.

In the top 10's, no Ken Dryden or Martin Brodeur? Is that correct?

Ken Dryden has the 3rd best EvE among three-round goaltenders in 1977 (essentially 1968-1979 finalists and 1980-2017 conference finalists). He only falls outside the top-10 when compared to goaltenders through three rounds.

Martin Brodeur falls just outside the top-10 categories for three-round (1994) and four-round (1995) goaltenders, as well as Stanley Cup Finals (2000).
