Brodeur/Kipper/Luongo Revisited

Kipper isn't normal this year and I don't think his stats are a fair comparason to last years.. the changes the flames made befor playoffs last year and this year make kipper look a lot better than he is. a solid defence core can make any goalie look good, and thats what happening in Cow town. most of the shots kipper faces are not that hard to stop which means the defence are doing there job.

Are you a Canucks fan? This statement almost made me pee my pants " most of the shots kipper faces are not that hard to stop" I don't know if you watch any of the Flames games but its been Kipper that has kept the Flames in alot of games this year. Yea we have a pretty decent "D" but they still have their breakdowns.

nope thing luongo is having a bad year compared to last also. My team doesn't have a starting goalie right now.

Kipper has kept the team in stopping a lot of shots that are where people who play goal concider them the easier shots to stop. doesn't mean they all get stopped but there are areas where a goalie who rather have shots taken from because the angles make it a little easier to fill up the net. not to say he hasn't made some nice clutch saves but overall his D have been doing there job well.

I have never liked kipper though so take from it what you will. he has ben getting better but he is a hot/cold goalie and used to be very inconsistant.
