Who was the last team that won a cup after their starter went down and the backup had to take over? Fleury and the penguins aren't a relevant example either.

I think a fantastic backup would increase the Flames' cup chances more than a random depth winger would.
Goaltending is extremely important. Even backups are important. Especially in the playoffs.
Again, this is becoming more and more obvious after each game.
