If he allowed 43 goals and stopped 74, what happened on that 118th shot? Enquiring minds want to know.
Hmmmm... I honestly don't know. Here's the source of the numbers. Maybe a typo on their part?

So in his 7 shutouts, he's faced less than 2 shots/game. That's all due to the defense defending well. Any keeper should be able to routinely make 2 saves a game.
Depends on the 2 shots.
Also, I wonder what happens when you take out #redbullwedding. Or, conversely, what happens to say the #10 statistical keeper in the league if you add into his numbers the numbers from that game?
I'm not apologizing for JS or defending him. But I think the "last in the league" title might bear further scrutiny.
Not that I can do better, but I recall in two separate instances my father and I were watching the game on TV and both of us busted out laughing at Saunders' movements.
my son and I were dying at the LA game because he dives at balls that are yards wide of the goal
Yeah he gave me the giggles about that too. It reminds me of someone who lunges at the bill at a restaurant...after you've already put your card in and handed it to the waiter lol. Cute.
My son is 3.5 and I think he may laugh too.
