Ok, here I go again about the Dead Angle Goals.
6.89% of the goals are scored from the Dead Angle (I changed the wording and updated the data) in NHL 2017-18.
Do the DA Goals predominantly with RVH affect the goalie's overall performance? Ctn to the image;

Short cut to the conclusion:
Regardless of your love or hate to RVH, the amount of the goals you give up from the Dead Angle, most likely by the wrong use of RVH in today's game don't really affect much on the overall performance of the goalie in a big picture in terms of Sv%.

Therefore, we better be careful judging goalie's performance just by picking up RVH mistakes in a single game or two.
Yes, I still hate to see those soft RVH goals against and we goalie coaches need to figure out how to avoid those mistakes diligently.

However we must not forget that there are so many other areas that are very well correlate to the overall Sv% such as Royal Road related plays, screen shots, etc. so we have to focus on these area as well.
