If the Pittsburgh Penguins are going to have a chance to do anything in the Stanley Cup Playoffs (assuming, of course, they still make them) their starting goalie is going to have to play a major role in that.
Perhaps even the biggest role of anybody else on the roster. That is usually true for most teams come playoff time, but it might be especially true for this group.
Given the way things have gone the past two postseasons, and especially in the second half of the season, that might not be the most encouraging development.
