-3.65 goals saved above expected for Otter tonight
Why is it impossible to have an actual discussion about his dismal play at times this year. He used to be one of the better goalies in terms of consistency but this year he’s had soooo many games where I see him going heavily negative with this statistic, so why does he get so much leeway in the fanbase? I see so many people constantly complain about various players, usually Harley, Duchene, Benn etc and that’s perfectly fine but the second you point out that the actual statistics bare out that Otter has been sporadic at the very best this season, you’re downvoted or outright flamed. I don’t get it. Watch any cup run for different teams, the goalie is constantly bailing his team out, because that’s what it takes. For instance Wallstedt tonight. Stopped it from getting to 4-2 and potentially the Stars making a game of it. Seems like weird hypocrisy because PDB (wrongfully, btw) was mean to a 26 year old man who makes 8 million a year.
