Just for fun, I went back to McDavid's first season to see what the worst team 5v5 sav% was, and what they were ~20 games into the season (picking Nov 20th as the date, and Feb 27's for the COVID season).
15/16 - 0.9115 -- On Nov 20 - 0.8947
16/17 - 0.9069 -- On Nov 20 - 0.8905
17/18 - 0.9082 -- On Nov 20 - 0.9012
18/19 - 0.8968 -- On Nov 20 - 0.8896
19/20 - 0.9012 -- On Nov 20 - 0.8686 (SJ)
20/21 - 0.8954 -- On Feb 27 (approx 20 games in) - 0.8879
21/22 - 0.8970 -- On Nov 20 - 0.8655 (Seattle)
22/23 - 0.8932 -- On Nov 20 - 0.8891
23/24 - 0.8946 -- On Nov 20 - 0.8892
24/25 - 0.8895 -- On Nov 20 - 0.8850
25/26 so far on Nov 20 - 0.8700 (Oilers)
By Nov 20th of the season, only 2 teams since McDavid entered the league have had a 5v5 sav% worse than the one we have right now. The 19/20 sharks, that finished 3rd last in the league helped by Martin Jones and Aaron Dell. The other was the expansion Kraken who also managed 3rd last by the end off the year using the powers of Grubauer, Driedger and 5 games of Daccord. The starters of both those teams, Jones and Grubauer saw their careers and usage continue to decline in the coming years. Grubauer is just a super expensive backup that keeps putting up crap stats and Jones couldn't get a contract this year after a bunch more bad seasons.
We are accomplishing something truly special right now. I'm told by media shills that it's all the players fault though, and our goalies are OK.
