You know why....
I have a great explanation for that.
He was extremely sheltered in his last two years here. Actually, his last year here I think he only played 3-4 games and got injured and never played again.
Clemmensen came in and looked great for 4 games or whatever he played that year too, then when he started getting used more in 05-06 he started to suck. Scott Wedgewood even gave us a great example of this in modern times when he was called in 15-16. His first 4 or however many games he played that year in like a week was very reminiscent to a couple of Schwab's years here and Clemmensen's debut season here. The only difference was that it came in consecutive games, while those guys never played consecutively.
These small samples usually have some really bad streaks and some really good ones. In a low number of games.
Look at Schwab's first 10 games here back in 95-96. Still not a very good sample size, but he was an .899% that year and that was almost as worthless as he was everywhere else.
You think Schwab is a .930% goalie if Marty got hurt those two years and had to miss a significant number of games? I absolutely do not.
And if you wanna keep digging up backups, Chris Terreri was absolutely and utterly no count his second tenure here. He was absolutely worthless by the time he came back here. He was a fine goalie when he was here the first time, not nearly as good as Brodeur, but decent right before he was traded to San Jose. He was insanely awful the second go around.
But then he got traded to the Islanders and in 8 games he was a .912% which was way better than anything he did here in about 7 years.
