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.

Yeah, fair enough but teams going with a tandem in the regular season more often now then pick their goalie come playoff time and ride him. When Chicago won it with Niemi he actually had played less games then Huet and the end of the regular season. When they won it last year with Crawford he had played 30 games to Ray Emery's 21, that's tandem.

That makes a lot more sense and yes, that's true.
