I know you have made this point before, but I just don't see what can meaningfully be construed from it. Why would drafting your own goalie be significant to winning playoff rounds? What is the reasoning behind it?
I suspect this has more to do with the age of cup-winning goalies, but even this has to do with being in the right place and getting "hot" at the right time—Jordan Binnington is nothing special.
This reminds me of the 1990s, when it was widely believed that a European captain, or a European goalies could never win the Stanley Cup. It's a weird statistic that probably doesn't actually mean anything, because it doesn't make any sense that it would.
