Too bad the Flames don't have a good, young backup goalie...
Oh, right! They do...
Too bad Iron Mike wants to break his confidence for some strange reason. McIlhenny has played really well the coupla times
he's seen the ice, yet #34 gets nearly every start. I could kinda understand if Kipper was playing lights-out & stealing games,
but he's not. Nothing against Kipper; I'm a big fan. But, what's the point of developing young goalie prospects just to ship 'em
off to another team, without ever giving 'em a chance to play for the Flames. Might as well do what the Flames have done in the past:
carry a career backup goalie who only plays 6-7 games a year & wins 1 or 2 of those...
I think Curtis has looked calm & played great- no rookie jitters, even facing the Red Wings. Give him some starts, Mr. Keenan!
I really do like the team they've put together this year; guys like Bourque, Camellari, & Glencross are playing fantastic.
Nice to see that Iginla doesn't have to carry them every game!
