If you're top ~20 in goaltending and your goalie isn't slumping at the wrong time, it's not much of a reliable bottleneck OR advantage in a seven game series. Goalies can win/lose you a series but it may not be the goalies expected to win/lose you a series. Hell Jonas Hiller stole us a series a couple years back.

I would not refer to either Rinne and Fleury as lesser goaltenders in any conversation lol
