What does a shot pipe shot count as other than a shot on goal? Does the keeper get credit for a save on one?

This is the correct explanation. It amazes me what some teams count as a save. A shot that hits pipe is not a save or shot on goal. We had a GRLC game last season where we scored 10 goals and took 25 shots. (not all on goal) At most the opposing goalie could have had 15 saves. They claimed 32 saves.
