I don’t believe it is that controversial of an opinion to say that Ryan Miller and, more specifically, John Gibson are the main reason that the team is barely out of a playoff position. There have been many games this season where I have personally said, “Wow without Gibson tonight, the team would have had absolutely no chance in that game.” So that got me thinking if there would be a good way to quantify that thought and look into how many additional points the Ducks goaltending has earned the team. The method I determined to be most useful in evaluating this is GSAA.
