Interesting.
Don't want to focus on just that quote though, thanks for the summary.

Championship teams still have unquestionable #1 goalies, and usually a good young prospect pushing them as their #2.
Quick
Crawford
Thomas
MAF
Niemi
All of these guys, even if they were only proving it in the season they won the championship, were true #1 goalies and not part of tandems.
