PPP Rabble: A statue! A statue! We found a statue! Can we erect it!?

Sir Hawerchuk: But, how do you *know* he is a statue?

JP: BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE ONE! (There are many cheers from the surrounding rabble.)

Sir Hawerchuk: Bring him forward.

[James Reimer](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54304/james-reimer?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com): I'm *not* a statue! I'm *NOT* a statue!

Sir Hawerchuk: But you are grey like one!

James Reimer: THEY dressed me up like this! (There are lots of people looking at the sky, some shake their heads.)

SkinnyFish: Well, we did do the nose. And the grey paint. But he IS A STATUE! (More cheers from the PPP rabble.)

Sit Hawerchuk: Did you dress him up like this?

PPP Rabble: NO! No! NO! Yes. Well, a bit. A BIT.

birky: He *has* got grey eyes!

Sir Hawerchuk: What makes you think he is a statue?

PPP: He's turned into stone! ...Well, he got better.

Rabble: ERECT HIM ANYWAY! YEAH, BUILD HIM UP ANYWAY!

Sir Hawerchuk: There are ways of telling whether he is a statue!

Chemmy: Tell us! Tell us!

[Sir Hawerchuk:](http://www.behindthenethockey.com/2011/2/23/2005954/the-importance-of-a-goalies-first-15-games?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

> We have 13 comps since 1995 - goalies who were called up and posted a .925 save percentage or better in their first 15 games. But over their next 60 games, they posted a very pedestrian .906 save percentage, which would seem to be a huge disappointment for guys who started out so hot. Given that the difference between an All-Star .920 goaltender and a replacement level .900 goaltender is one goal every other game, 15 games is not a large enough sample size to be confident in a goaltender's abilities - one out of every six .900 goalies will out-perform a .920 goalie over a 15-game stretch.
