Save % in seasons playing 41+ games

Hasek: .930, .930, .920, .930, .932, .937, .921, .915, .925, .913
Brodeur: .915, .902, .911, .927, .917, .906, .910, .906, .906, .914, .917, .911, .922, .920, .916, .903
Roy: .900, .908, .912, .906, .914, .894, .918, .906, .923, .916, .917, .914, .913, .925, .920

While Brodeur and Roy are generally thought of as the big-game goalies, every single one raised their game in the Playoffs, and once again, look who has the highest save percentage in the playoffs. Hasek just never was on a very good team besides the Wings in '02. And I don't think we'll ever see a goalie carry a team like Hasek did in '99 again.
Save percentage doesn't do much for me. I prefer wins and shutouts.

Most wins lifetime: Martin [602]
Most playoff wins: Roy [151]
Most wins season: Martin [48]
Most shutouts career: Martin [110]
Most 30 win seasons: PR AND MB [13]
Most 40 win seasons: MB [3]
Most shutouts playoffs: MB AND PR [23]
