Ranking Playoff Goaltending

from Darren Eliot at Sports Illustrated,
So in evaluating each goaltending tandem, here are some different elements to consider:
Who has the biggest drop-off from their starter to their backup? Not surprisingly, that would be New Jersey and Vancouver, as Martin Brodeur and Roberto Luongo, respectively, render their goaltending partners to paid observer status. If either was ever hurt, could any of us really expect the little-used Scott Clemmensen of the Devils or the equally inactive Danny Sabourin of the Canucks to win a game, never mind a series?
Conversely, teams such as the Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks have nearly interchangeable excellence between their two netminders.
