As the end of the regular season inches closer, the debate over which goalie the Stars will rely on in the playoffs has come up more and more. And while Lindy Ruff may not need to declare Kari Lehtonen or Antti Niemi as The Chosen One right now, The Hockey News' Matt Larkin says he absolutely needs to decide at some point. According to Larkin, two-goalie systems just don't fly when it's crunch time.
For starters, six of the past seven Stanley Cup champion teams have had a single goalie record all 16 of the wins required to hoist the chalice, the exception being Chicago's Corey Crawford last spring.
