from Mike Broply of Sportsnet,
If the NHL playoffs were to start today, how many of the 16 qualified teams would be 100 percent happy with goaltending?
There are a precious few teams that will enter the playoffs completely comfortable with the situation. In the Eastern Conference, you could make the case only the Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres are completely at ease with the men entrusted to keep the puck out of the net....
In the Western Conference, the Phoenix Coyotes, Calgary Flames and Colorado Avalanche should be comfortable with its stoppers. You could probably lump the Los Angeles Kings in that category thanks to the wonderful year Jonathan Quick is enjoying, even though he has only played in one NHL playoff game.

I agree, Chris. Someone should tell Broph that Quick has never played in an NHL playoff game before.
