I think if players can play 82, goalies can too. Data supports it for 70-75 game seasons.
I also don’t buy the ‘this team is tired because they played so much hockey last year’, when they went deep in the playoffs. 2-3 months off should be ample time to recover, no?

If that’s the case, why haven’t we seen goalies playing 82 games? The reason why coaches and players repeatedly talking about resting or managing a goalies time is because it’s a fact regardless of what you think.
Also in your analysis you failed to mention Cam Talbot. To present your points as correct facts when you’ve got a few outliers as data points and skipping out on players is clear indication of a biased thought.
Also so you know, players might be able to play 82 games at 20-25min a game, to say a goalie to be on and playing for the full 60 minutes and playing 82 games is the same is hilarious.
