Thank God Kipper will be the goalie when Canada plays Finland - all we have to do is lob pucks from our own side of center ice to score.

WELL, Kipper's number do look better this year and even for a flame hater like myself he does look better but in the end he is a goalie that has yet to winn the big ones for his team. He 1 great run in the playoffs and has done nothing in them since. This year the Kipper and the flames will only be considered a success if they raise a cup and so far they can't best Colarado so the jury is still out.

I don't think any real knowledgeable Canuck fans are going to try to argue your points because they will look at it this way...Luongo has not had a great season by his standards (until recently), meaning Kiprusoff isn't necessarily getting better but more likely Luongo slipped a little back to Kiprusoff's level. I would have to check last years numbers but I'm not really interested.

Based on your statement that Kipper has pulled his numbers up, you have checked and he is better than last year? Make sure you check the past 4 years or so though because I don't think his GAA last year was very good. I do believe his career numbers came about 2-3 years back and he has regressed since then.

I wouldn't have posted Brodeurs numbers if you are trying to make your fav goalie look good. He's untouchable.

Speaking of team Canada though, what happened to all the Flames d-men? I was under the impression from Flames fans that they were going to make up half the defensive core...I didn't see any of them on the roster.

rumor has it 2 of those d-men don't like each other and team Canada didn't want the Drama.....

Ahhhh I knew the Canuck fans would come out of the woodwork. I suppose you have your little green lasers as well

"but in the end he is a goalie that has yet to winn the big ones for his team" And Luongo has done this for Vancouver? I'm not sure but I don't think he has his ring does he?

If it wasn't for Kipper, Flames would be dead last , as far as having a really good defense core, makes me laugh, Kippers looking at 40 shots a game on most nights and stnds on his head.

that makes me laugh.. using shots on net is a stupid statistic, unless you can break down where thoes shots were from by percentage.

I play goalie for a old timers league and trust me, I would love to have 50 shots from the outside of the circle over 15 from in front. the biggest job of the defence is to try push the guys to the outside where statisticly it is much easier to stop the shot, and to prevent a pass preventing one timmers or tip ins on the opposit side. like I tell my guys, if the other team wants to come in on the boards and shoot from the side. they can do that all day for all I care.
