I prefaced with a 'reasonable' goalie. And you saying that a backup would collapse is just as speculative.
I'm just saying it was nowhere near 2012 where it's pretty obvious that they don't win without Quick. He carried them to the Cup that year.
In 2014, he had a subpar 0.911 save percentage in 26, his counterpart in King Henrik had 0.928 in 25.
It's not like I'm rewriting history. It was the story of the matchup and Quick's inconsistency was noted throughout the playoffs:

Quick’s wild inconsistency has been front and center during the 2014 playoffs.

but his inconsistent nature almost cost the Kings in the first round as they failed to provide the adequate support for Quick’s style.
