I think people are misled on what really matters when it comes to moving up in the goal-tending world.
The fact of the matter is you can play great and lose. And you can play bad and win.
But at the end of the day, wins are a stat for the team. And for goalies – no one else… to move up in the hockey world, to move up in the standings, to win championships – you need to win games.
The secret is to focus on winning games, and good stats will follow.
