WCHA 26-27 Season Thread

Are you comparing Gascon's record vs a team stacked with Olympians with McNaughton's record with a team of olympians in front of her vs a much less stacked team? They are both facing very different situations/shot quality/shot quantity.

At the end of the day, they are both great goalies. Not to take away from McNaughton, but a goalie on a weaker team that maintains that save percentage is way more impressive to me. McNaughton might get the championships, but Gascon deserves her individual accolades.

The record isn't that important, but her only beating UW once says a lot. UW certainly does not put 50 sog a game up against UMD, so it isn't like she's forced to stand on her head every game against them. Usually the sog allowed by UMD against UW is upper 20's low 30's.

Ava doesn't deserve individual accolades?

I hope this debate comes to a head in the Olympics someday.

Aside from the lopsided sided shot count, if advanced goalie stats were kept we’d be able to see a clearer overall picture. GSAx (goals saved above expected) would be a very interesting stat to see between these two.
