| 0:00.0 | Welcome in to the VNVR Avalanche podcast. We got the whole squad of four here on an off day for the |
| 0:06.3 | avalanche sitting on a two game winning. I guess it's not a streak. I don't know what to call it. |
| 0:12.5 | They've won two games in a row. It's a good week. |
| 0:19.2 | Anyway, for the off day, I've had this conversation with a couple people a couple people have |
| 0:23.7 | talked about this with me and i wanted to expand on it a little bit more the nchel as a whole |
| 0:29.2 | over the last decade but particularly over the last three or four years has seen a significant |

| 1:20.6 | across the course of the season. But as he continues to flirt right around 900, that is right |
| 1:26.6 | around a league average save percentage. |
| 1:28.7 | Now, that league average does include every single guy who has played one game and posted a |
| 1:33.7 | 500 save percentage. |
| 1:34.9 | So those numbers are not adjusted for starters and things like that. |
