You could rephrase your comment to: "Calgary really needs a goalie to stand up in order to fill the massive void on 2/3rds of the top line which seems to appear whenever the going gets tough."
I'm certainly not suggesting it's all about the goaltender.

But the Jets have an advantage up front, Flames a massive advantage on the blueline. If we have Rittich at his best the Jets have an advantage in net ... but if Calgary's goaltender is worse than that it's a problem.
