If someone can prove that goalies that play 70+ games suffer a larger drop in save percentage in the playoffs than goalies playing less than 70 games than I'll buy the theory.
Until then it's just cherry picking.

Miikka Kiprusoff played 70 or more games in seven straight seasons, and the Flames never won a round. Never came close, in fact, after 2005.
The year he played 38 games, IT WAS ####ING IN.
