Very few NHL goalies can play over 70 games and still be effective in the playoffs. They simply will burn out
For example after 64 games In case of Minny (NHL) their backup (Darcy Kuemper) has played 14 games.
CPHL perspective, I would definitely like to see something done next year to force teams to utilize their backups.
