That's a ridiculous comparison. Roy and Brodeur weren't carrying their teams. Both played on extremely deep teams for the bulk of their careers. Of course you need good goaltending but it isn't as if the Devils were getting out shot 20-40 every night and winning because of Brodeur. That's absurd. Same goes for the Avs.
The Wings this year have leaned way to hard on their goalies and stolen points even when the rest of the team got soundly outplayed. There is absolutely no comparison to the Devils or Avs of the 90s. The Hasek Sabres would be a better comparison and they never won a cup.
What's more absurd is one, that you think he was saying that, and two, that the Wings performance (particularly in the last 14 games) has been nearly comparable to getting outshot 20-40 every night.
The Wings over the last 14 game have on average outshot their opponents 32.7-30.2. They leaned hard on their goalies to start the season, but that hasn't really been the case lately.
