Every playoff team's worst nightmare is running into a hot goalie, but when dothese terrors between the pipes begin to heat up? If the past decade is any indication, its not late in the regular season.Since Avery Bradley Jersey 2006, Stanley Cup-winning goaltenders havent entered the postseason on a hot streak; rather, theyve gone on a tear once the postseason begins.MORE: | In fact, the save percentage leader in the last six weeks of the regular season has never gone on to win the Stanley Cup in the past 10 years, and only once has the save percentage leader even made the Stanley Cup Final.The table below Chris Paul Jersey shows the last 10 years of Cup-winning goalies and where they ranked in save percentage among goalies with a minimum of four starts from March 1 to the end of the regular season. Next to that is the leader in save percentage for the same time period.Pittsburghs Marc-Andre Fleury and Bostons Tim Thomas were the highest-ranked Cup-winning goalies in the past 10 years, each ranked fifth. Fleury posted a .925 save percentage in the last six weeks of 2009 regular season, while Thomas posted a .934 in 2011.MORE: But ranking much lower has been the norm, includingDetroits Chris Osgood at 26th in 2008 and Chicagos Corey Crawford at 25th in 2013.Worth noting is Jonathan Quick, who Tobias Harris Jersey , as the 20th-ranked goalie in save percentage, outdueled Brian Elliott (first), Cory Schneider (second) and Mike Smith (fourth) to win the Cup with the Kings in 2012.Even getting to the conference finals has been mostly reserved for goalies who have posted average to below-average save percentages to close out the regular season.Of the 40 goalies in the conference finals over the past 10 years, just seven have ranked in the top fivein save percentage, plus one more in the top 10.Conversely, 15 of the 40 were ranked 20th or worse. Quick advanced to the Western Conference finals in 2013 after Montrezl Harrell Jersey posting the 38th-worst save percentage to end the regular season.What does this mean for 2016? Well, anything is po sible for the best stretch-run goalies, but lets look at where all of the 2016 playoff goalies rank. Crawford, Dallas Antti Niemi and Paul George Jersey Pittsburghs Matt Murray didnt play enough to make this list, though Crawford posted a .902 save percentage in six games.Soif were using the past 10 years as a sample size, theres reason for some added optimism in places like Los Angeles, New York, Brooklyn, Florida, Nashville and Detroit. Pittsburgh is probably dependent on when Fleury is able to return. And some others, like Tampa, St. Louis and San Jose, will have to hope to buck the trends of the past decade.(h/t , )
