There should be a noticeable drop off in playoffs if your theory is correct.
You have to take every goalie that played 70+ games and compare their playoff numbers to regular season. That's really the only way to know for certain.
I don't think you will see any difference.

Wow...you are literally pulling out two of the greatest work horse Goalies of the past 35 years and expect us to side with you? Both of those goalies are future Hall of Famers.
If we look at the average to above average goaltender in NHL stats over the past 30 years you will see that non-Hall of Fame goaltenders tend to slide statistically after starting more than 70+ games in said season. It is both a mental and physical fatigue issue setting in.
Sure Cam Talbot is a great goalie....but lets not start throwing comparisons around to greatness like Oiler's Fans do.
Oh wait........
