Actually players can win games without good goaltending as long as thier defence is keeping the puck in the offensive zone and out of the defensive then the goalie may end up with 10-15 shots which is nothing and hardly worth mentioning. If the offence scores then the team won and the goalie contributed maybe 13 saves nothing spectacular.

Um do you have a clue yes he was the goalie in that series but did he singlehandedly win the series. No. Did he stop all the shots, yes score all the goals, no kill all the penalties. No. Please people take some advice from someone who has played every level of this game a hot goalie can keep you in games with big saves, but he can't win the game for his team, unless he scores an empty net goal in a 0-0 tie.
He simply can't carry a team through the play-offs, have any of you ever played a play-off series in a major-junior, pro or semi-pro league, if you have then you would know what I am talking about, if not it is lost on you.
