Even if a goalie stops every single shot he faces, if his teammates don't score a single goal then his performance is useless. Theoretically they'd go into several OT's until one goalie is too fatigued to play. The replacement goalie gets put in and lets a goal go by. They lose 1-0. Even the other team's goalie (if he's still in the game) doesn't get credit for being a hero, that press will go to the guy who scored the goal ending the longest OT ever.
