73537, when I started watching hockey, one or two goalies had +.900 sv. % Posted by celery77, Mon Apr-19-10 01:51 PM
Felix Potvin and Curtis Joseph were JUST BARELY over the .900%, if I'm not mistaken, then Hasek and Brodeur came in and made .930% a pretty routine number. last time I checked, it seems like every starting goalie in the league has a +.900%, probably up in the .920-.930%.
I don't know if it's expansion, lax enforcement of goalie gear regulations, revolution in the position, or just the general increase in players' athleticism, but it makes the game less fun.
I got a little amped off the Olympics this year, wanted to check some playoff hockey, see if I could catch the feeling again. After watching a game like that, nuh uh -- can't do it. I'd much rather watch a meaningless early season MLS match than playoff hockey right now, that's just how it is.
