people want to place blame. When so many tout Lundqvist's greatness, for whatever reason there is a need to argue the point, and when he gives up four goals in a game, or is outplayed in a championship series by another goalie (and being outplayed is debateable, but Quick has not been all too bad), people like to pounce. And being a goalie is difficult. When a puck goes in, it is always expected to have been stopped. When a goalie lets in an easy goal, and every goaltender on the face of the planet has done so, that's looked at and the 20 saves in a period that goalie made is not because they're routine. No use fighting after a certain point. I was never the biggest Lundqvist fan. But it's tough for me to argue the year after year consistency. In the beginning the defense and the system seemed to have been good. Then it was the shot blocking. Then I just thought, maybe it's Lundqvist. Brodeur seemed to have it easy, but you don't have it easy year-in and year-out for 20 consecutive years.
And great point on Hasek. I often use Marino. It is a team sport. Can't always blame the one guy on the ice for 60 minutes. This team has a few flaws in front of Henrik.
