Message: [QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 4269261, member: 229"] Save percentage doesn't reflect the strength of team defense. It's part of it sure, but if Maryland had a sieve their team defense wouldn't look so great. His 164 saves are 31st in D1 but his 121 saves are still tops for percentage. Obviously, save percentage is not a great stat because it doesn't care if it's a goal from the doorstep or a 12 yard step down but unfortunately save percentage is one of the few stats afforded a goalie. He's seen his fair share of shots and made a lot of saves. I have context because I've watched him play numerous times, he's made great saves. He's a great keep. You definitely could not guarantee McNaney's save % would be lower at Syracuse no more or less than I think he would improve Syracuse's defense. As was mentioned to his field game is fantastic. It's kind of goofy to say a weak conference doesn't produce high quality shots. [/QUOTE]
