NHL Post-Season Goalie Evaluation for 2011-2012

Now that the NHL playoffs are over (congrats to the Los Angeles Kings), let's take a look at how the goalies performed during last season's playoffs.  I calculate goalies post-season performance in the same way as I have previously done, with the exception that I am calculate the coefficient on post-season goals against, instead of using the regular season in the Wins Above Average calculation.  Here are the results for the 2012 NHL playoffs.
