Hold your horses, kids. The ONLY reason Leggio has been doing so well in Portland is because he's getting outstanding goal support from his skaters - he's currently the owner of an ugly 2.71GAA.

GAA doesn't matter at all, remember that.


for the umpteenth time. GAA is just a reflection of save percentage/shots per game. the shots per game is a variable completely out of the goaltenders hands. if a goaltender faces 3 shots in a game, stops 2, and has a "sparkling" GAA of 1.00, but a rotten save percentage of .667. while a goaltender facing 50 shots, allowing 3 goals has a "mediocre" GAA of 3.00, but a sparkling save percentage of .940. tell me whose had the better game? when gauging a goalies performance, the save percentage statistic is the most telling stat.

GAA is a glamour stat in essence, and nothing more.

leggio is the owner of an extremely solid .917 save percentage. hes facing alot of rubber.


Its adequate, not extremely solid. When compared to how current starting goalies fared in the AHL, it lands right in the middle.

hes facing a lot of rubber. its a pretty good number considering that. he wont be an NHL goaltender (unless something catastrophic happens) buts its nice to know the kids on the farm are getting solid goaltending. portland lacks defense.
