Again goalies don't guarantee you wins.
But a great goalie can steal games for you and a great l forward can't.
A great goalie can ensure that you will have a very very good chance to win.
And lundqvist has done exactly that. Letting in only 6 goals in 7 game 7s.
Dont compare the weak goalies in the west to the great goalies of the East.
Dubnyk is a subpar goalie who got hot and was overworked.
He didn't play superb in either round.
Rinne is the only other goalie who could've made a difference, and he was cold long before the playoffs started.
The east had Anderson, Price, Holtby, Fleury and Lundqvist all playing at the top of their games.
Put them on the Wild or Predators this years and the series would've been longer.
