Its the same argument that winning the President's Trophy is a curse. A wobbly argument made on small sample sizes and a bucketful of assumptions. |
Buddy, we watched Miikka Kiprusoff for a decade. Playing your starter 70+ games is not what a team with serious championship aspirations does. Patrick Roy never played 70 games in a regular season. Hell, Hasek only did it once.
Dubnyk hasn't played 70 for the Wild. Crawford has never even played 60. Quick last played 70 in 2009. Rask played 70 three years ago. The Rangers didn't get to the Final until the stopped playing Lunqvist 70+ nights a year in the regular season.
Even Price hasn't played 70 games since 2010.
The Edmonton Oilers will not win a Stanley Cup if they force Cam Talbot to play 70 regular season contests.
