When’s the last time that a “elite” goalie (besides Vasilevskiy) won the cup? Legitimately curious. It seems like winning the Cup is less about track record and more about getting hot at the right time.

Fair point but how often does a team with one of the elites also have enough depth to win a cup? The only other team with an elite goalie who could say they’re good enough were the Rangers but if Laf and Kaapo don’t take some serious steps forward they also will be just a pretender.
