Lankinen has been pretty arguably top 10 goalie this year, hardly a crutch that should impact team play/strategy.

Yea, this isn’t like Colorado trying to overcome horrible goaltending at points in the past couple years. Demko could have provided better goaltending and maybe a couple more points in the standings but it shouldn’t be an excuse

Lankinen has replaced Demko effectively but we've lost at least 3 points (Calgary, Pittsburgh games for sure) in games where a DeSmith would have got us a result that a stinky Silovs didn't.
Yeah this is a much better argument. He's clearly not a NHL goalie right now.

Last year, with a 3-1 lead and under 10 minutes remaining, it was a lock for two points and a sprint to the team bus.

But no Miller, no Hronek, no Demko and a pylon-blueline, and it's off to OT.
