I saw this today and since I'm one of the great proponents of "Show me a great goalie and I'll show you a great coach" I thought I'd post it for informational purposes. I've also tended to defend Guy Boucher when he's criticized for some terrible team performances (always corresponding to a career worst year for his goalie). This chart tends to confirm that. It's 'Goals above average per 60 minutes. So, if you're about to jump all over Guy Boucher, Claude Julien or Bill Peters (3 pretty good coaches IMO), you should have a counter argument to the chart below.

I think coach and defensive unit go hand in hand here.
Our blue line sucked. Lots of unforced errors. Lots of errors under pressure. Galchenyuk was -30 this year and most of that isn't on him. The Hens defense took a major step back. Methot going was a big loss. Karlsson not at 100% was a loss. Chabot with growing pains.
I wouldn't say Carey's focus was all there down the stretch, but that doesn't concern me. I don't care how good your goalie 'is'. If he's facing point blank chances repeatedly, some are going in. If your defense is running around in its own end, it will end up in your net eventually.

How is Goals Saved Above Average per 60 calculated?
Heck for that matter, what is a Goal Saved? Any shot on net that is stopped is technically a goal saved, no matter the quality
