being a goalie, I have had to make some spectacular saves that look real good, but the truth is I have made some normal saves that I was able to make look easy, even though they were hard. To me that is what a good/hot goaltender is all about. Though I do agree that just because one has a multitude of shots, doesn't mean that he is doing great.
Patrick Roy said "The best saves, are the ones where you are in position, if you make a sliding around save, it might look good, but in reality you are way out of postion. And that doesn't make you good!"
