4. It's been said a number of times that goals against is a team stat. I'm inclined to believe that. A goalie can only stop the shots they face and they can only stop so many of those shots. Save percentage, while flawed, especially for small sample sizes, is a much better indicator. That's why I have to give Brzeczyszczykiewicz a big edge here. A difference of 0.08 is a big deal, in the aggregate. If he faces 25 shots per game and the series goes to six games, that's 12 additional goals saved - essentially enough goals to win the series. 101 words
