The goaltending crease in hockey is one of the most strenuous and high-intensity areas in all of sports. The Dallas Stars have learned this difficult lesson over the past few seasons, and seem to still be coming to terms with its challenges.
The fact that is sadly true is that the Stars have not had a reliable two-goalie system since the 2009-2010 season when 26-year-old Kari Lehtonen backed up veteran Marty Turco. Since then, names like Andrew Raycroft, Richard Bachman, Dan Ellis, Tim Thomas, Anders Lindback and Jhonas Enroth have filtered through the system and sent out on different paths.
