Stop the high danger chances at league average level.

Because those chances are so difficult, the passes that come across the ice, the two on ones, the breakaways, these are good chances against really good goalies and they do have physical and technical limitations.

They go in one every three times.

That's what's going to happen during a series.

At the end of the series, you never see a goalie steal a series compared to the other guy in high danger.

What you see is a difference in mid-danger.

Mid-danger's chances, they go in one every six.

One every six.

And goalies that are performing at a high level are playing at better than a one every six.

They're playing at a one every nine, one every ten.

Those are the guys that win the series.

What's really critical is you don't allow the low danger chances.

Those are going in one every 38 shots.

Freddie gave one up the other night from the half wall.

That could kill a series.

Now, against Ottawa, it didn't bite him in the ass.

But, you know, we've seen that for years in Toronto.

He's so talented.

But, again, he has these moments where he fades mentally and gives up the one out of every 38 that you should never allow that kills a series.

Yeah, Kipper, I went on my little computer and you see this printout right here?
