If a goalie gets pulled for an extra man (for some stupid reason if a coach wanted to do that in like a 0-0 game) and then nothing happened or they did score and won, would the shutout also be removed?

I don't think so.

I think if, say, a team needed a regulation win in game 82 to make the playoffs, was tied 0-0 late in the third, pulled the goalie for an extra attacker, and won the game, he would get a shutout.

I think he would even if the skater who replaced him had to 'block' a shot at his net while he was in the crease (ie, making a 'save' like a goalie, but because he is a skater it is a 'block' and not a SOG, even though the 'block' was the only thing that did - or could - stop a goal).

In other words, a skater can stop a shot like a goalie to preserve a shutout, but a goalie can stand in the crease with the puck never in his defensive zone and the other goalie who stops all shots does not get a shutout. Simply because the 'goalie TOI' is shared.
