Maybe there was a bad bounce here, a deflection there or whatever. But in Friday night's 5-2 loss to the Alaska, the difference in goaltending was dramatic.
Alaska rookie Jean-Philippe Lamourex stopped 36 of 38 shots, for a terrific .947 save percentage, and seemed to be frustrating the Bakersfield shooters. At the other end of the ice, Bakersfield goaltender David McKee stopped 31 of 36 shots — a .861 save percentage.
It wasn't that many years ago that a .900 save percentage was pretty good. But goaltenders keep raising the bar and only three of the top 20 goaltenders in the ECHL as of Friday (ranked by goals-against average) had save percentages of under .908.
Four Bakersfield goaltenders have a combined .897 save percentage this season.
That, plain and simple, is not near good enough.
