The statistics do back me up. The majority of stanley cups have been won by dominating goal tenders.
Would you really argue that putting Roy on the Flyers Legion of Doom teams would not have resulted in numerous stanley cup championships?
Those teams had everything
but great goal tending.
Conversely, put the typical average goal tender in net for the Devils and there is no way, no way in hell, they win all those stanley cups.
I'm not into hockey now, but all through the 80s and 90s i was.
