I just the think the argument as a whole is based on small sample sizes.
Few goalies play 70+ games to begin with, and fewer teams make it to the conference finals and beyond.
So when you have two things that aren't likely to happen combined, well the results are what one would expect.
I think in order for the fatigue argument to have merit, you need to take the stats of all the goalies that have played 70+ games and compare their regular season to the playoffs.
And then compare that to a baseline.

And for the record you don't think there's a fatigue element in a goaltender playing 70+ games in the regular season two seasons in a row?
