If your goalie wins 12 out of every 18 games he plays... the other numbers (save %, etc.) won't matter so much. UPL also gets some wicked goal support.

He does and he lets in 3 a game most nights but yeah, wins are the #1 stat.

You're implying wins are a goalie stat and idk if I'd go that far. 

Still, credit to UPL for the big saves down the stretch. He played well to close out the game.

Weird response 

Expand  

UPL 13-5-0-1  3.31 GAA .899 SV% (but after a rough start he has a .915 SV% and is 10-3 over his last 13)

Anderson 8-6-0-2  2.73 GAA  .917 SV%

Comrie 4-8-0 3.87 GAA .883 SV%

Why would anyone ever want to see Comrie play again for the Sabres? He's the main reason we're not in a playoff spot right now.  Nice guy...sure...quality goalie - sure doesn't look like it

How can wins not be a goalie stat? That's a number/analytic that trumps every other number. That's what the game is about. UPL made some big stops that were a significant factor in the win. In this win I don't recall UPL allowing in a weak goal. There was one goal where the shooter put in a laser shot that was high on his glove side. On that shot I credit the shooter more than criticize the goalie .

12 games defines Comrie’s existence?

I've been really disappointed in Comrie...had fantastic metrics last year, 2nd only to Sheshterkin in GoalsSavedAboveAverage/60

Martin Jones in Seattle is 22-6-3 with a .894 sv%. Sometimes the numbers don’t always add up with goaltending and success. UPL does give up some questionable goals but he seems to make the right ones on this run in order to help the team win games.

The first goal was kinda weak. He should have had the stick on the ice in that situation as he was already down in the butterfly.

Seattle scores a lot so that helps too.

I ran the numbers of each goalie during the defense-injury and 8-game losing streak madness... I don't know which thread it was anymore. But Comrie was the one who suffered most from the injuries/streak. He hasn't had chance to play with Samuelsson or the team when it's been playing well.

Comrie will have that shield up. We've gotta give him more time!

(probably next season after Anderson retires and UPL gets more consistent.)

Nope it doesn't but he's been garbage this year.  Near the bottom in every goalie category. Not sure I understand the love of Comrie nor the hate for UPL, but can't understand insanity I suppose.

If you ignore the 10 minutes where he let in 2 questionable goals, yes. 

Expand  

Nope… UPL in the last 10 minutes is why we won… It’s the win that matters… not the goals against…

One possible weak goal and a half dozen exceptional stops to secure a win. I'll take that ratio any day of the week.
