I think it's a matter of there only being a handful of truly elite goalies. The rest are a product of their system and can be VERY streaky. Teams like DET, SJ, STL, MIN and ANA have all seen constant turnover yet remain top teams year after year. Very few teams have had the same guy in place for a significant period of time. Guys like Price, Kipper and Lundqvist are rare.
