If you're an average team you'll need exceptional goaltending to win the cup. If you're one of the deepest teams in the league you may be able to win with average goaltending.

Good point. In fact as I started reading your post I instantly thought of that red wings team. But that team is arguably one of the best in history. I don't think you ever see a deep team like that ever again.
