Lundqvist/Valliquette Ranked 8th in THN Goalie Confidence Index

Ryan Kennedy at The Hockey News has devised the Goalie Confidence Index or GCI: an objective formula concocted to measure how effectively a team can rely on its netminders. Here's where Henrik Lundqvist and Stephen Valiquette...

NY RANGERS
Rank: 8
Score: 155.1
A stellar defensive team to begin with, the Rangers rarely worry when ‘King’ Henrik Lundqvist is between the pipes. His 10 shutouts in 72 games helped him to seventh place in that category, only to be outdone by his own backup; Stephen Valiquette was fifth, notching two goose eggs in 13 appearances. Valiquette’s frugal 2.19 GAA didn’t hurt matters, either.

...#8 seems fair to me looking at the teams ahead of them.
