This would be an eye opening tool for evaluating goaltenders – especially on penalty-riddled teams.

GAA is not a great way to judge a goalie. The team in front of him can have too much bearing on that stat. Grant Fuhr was a very good goalie. His GAA was always towards the bottom of the league because of the offensive style the Oilers played.
Save % is a much better way to evaluate a goalie…a goalie who gives up 4 goals on 50 shots has a worse GAA than one who gives up 3 goals on 16 shots, but which one actually played better?

Well, when you evaluate goaltenders you evaluate all aspects of their game. How they play shorthanded, as compared to even strength, as compared to on the power play all should be considered. There is always some people in any sport that crunch numbers and figure out different ratios and stats that they may use to compare players, but the fact it numbers don’t always show how good a player really is.
Also, most goaltenders are only as good as their defense in front of them. If the D lets opponents through it could be a very miserable night and season. (Trust me, I’ve split Blues season tickets the last 2 years and we miss Chris Pronger and Al MacInnis.)
