OK so this just gave me a though because i read somewhere where the consistently rating would balance out at the end of the season so two players with the same basic skillset would end up with the same relative point totals, it would just mean one had more great/bad games than the other who had all avg games.(obvious i am talking in a vacuum here so to speak)

So my question is if i were to edit two goalies and gave them basically the same attributes and put them on basically the same teams and they performed lets say around 2.00 gaa and 5 SO, and then i make one have a consistency of 20 and one at 10. the player with a ten constancy would post around the same numbers (GAA SV%) but wouldn't his shutout count be much higher due to more amazing games than the other goalie who would put in a good effort every night but didn't have those Amazing games.

I may just be over thinking this but i have always felt the nhl and its fans seem to think that having a high shutout count is great which it is but at the same time i feel like it just means that goalie is more inconsistant than his counterparts because if he is around the same amount stat wise in GAA and S% it just means he had more crap games in order for the stats to even out.
Again like i said i might just be overthinking this
