About Me
- The Contrarian Goaltender
- I'm Philip Myrland, goalie stats blogger since 2007 and former writer for Hockey Prospectus. I call myself a contrarian because I rely mainly on stats-based analysis, think large sample sizes are more important than "big saves" and prefer to rank goalies based on save percentage rather than team success. In other words, pretty much the mainstream views of the hockey analytics community, but I've grown attached to the handle and plan to keep it as long as broadcasters everywhere keep bringing up GAA and wins. If you have any questions or comments contact me by email (contrariangoaltender@gmail.com). You can also follow me on Twitter (@tcghockey).

I never said this formally before but congratulations on the gig.
Wow. NHL.com just released their players of the decade list and Chris Osgood was apparently the second best goalie of the past 10 years... Luongo wasn't even an honorable mention. Their rationale for picking Osgood, what else besides "He just wins"? According to NHL.com:
"Osgood was a key to the Wings' Cup win in 2008 and nearly got them another one last spring."
Or to edit for validity: "Osgood was key to the Wings' Cup loss in 2009 and nearly lost them another one the previous spring."
